This was normal. The system was a low pressure, high volume design.

Its a waste of HP to run excessive high oil pressure.The rule of thumb is 10 psi per 100Hp for hot oil!

I know MOE66 had posted some pics but I was wondering if anyone any real "how-to's" for electric oil temp., oil press. and air/fuel ratio. I can't really tell from the pics that were posted where they are supposed to go. I have the gauge pod and these guages at home waiting to be installed....I'm just to chicken to do it until I get "real life" aka Contour, experienced howto. Probably asking for much but just wondering.... Thanks!

Thanks! The gauges are very simple to hook up. Send me an e-mail at: mallmon_com@yahoo.com and I could guide you through it.
