Hey, I have a 74-2.0 with stock injection and want to add a oil pressure gauge.
What pressure gauge should I use, 80 PSI or higher? What do these cars run for oil pressure normally and whats a good bad pressure (cold/warm)

Thanks

80 psi is sufficient. VolksWorld magazine did a 'shootout' and scored the VDO to be 3/5. The winner, by far, was the Stack gauge. A little more expensive, but better quality. I'll be getting a full compliment of Stack gauges for my car.

(plus they look good)

Oh!! Great!! Thanks a lot. Now I've got to change all mine. Sheesh!!

With my cheap ass piece of krap VDO gauge I see about 50 psi @ 3000rpm.

Oh Boy!! A two hundred dollar oil pressure gauge!

Here is a pretty good site to compare, prices are pretty good as well

Geez Elliot, you don't need to use one post per line.

The $200 version is the stepper motor unit. Nice, but not necessary. Just get the $69 version.

Does this price include the sender too?

if not what eles is required?

I use pro-sport: http://prosportgauges.com/

They work great.

Sender is included.

I used an autometer oil pressure gauge from the site above. May not match a stock interior very well, but the egauges site has a lot of parts to choose from. Im using this one, and works really well

I use the vdo one cause it matches. Unless your racing, who really cares if it off by a few psi IMO. Just there to indicate a major problem.

My thought process is a little slow nowadays.
