My '75 914 2.7 conversion has the getty 911 dash and 911 guages. Ever since I purchased the car, in early may, the oil pressure guage has registered 100 psi when I turn on the key and stays there. The oil pressure light comes on but then goes out after the engine warms up a little.
Where do I begin to chase this down? - the back of the guage? - the sender unit? Could the guage be bad? if so, how do I check it? If the sender unit is bad, how do I check it? Just looking for a little help on where to start looking.... Thanks! |

you need to hook it up...I think it will peg to max if disconnected.
If a 914 engine with the stock sensor, you'll need to buy a dual sender for the 914 engine. one side is for the idiot light (on or off) and one is for the guage (analog output) b |

Did you even read the question? It's a 2.7 conversion, and the gauge pegs key on, engine not running. There's a wire off at either the sender or the instrument, unless he has a dead sender. And you wonder why they call me Cap'n Krusty ................................ |
