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! |

I would think about investing in a mechanical gauge. 90% of the time, when you get a whacky reading, its the electronics. A mechanical gauge should be about 40-50 bucks for a good one. That will tell you without a doubt if its good or not.
