Hello!

I have installed a Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge on the line coming from my sandwich plate to my remote oil filter.

It doesnt quite jive with the stock Toyota Pickup gauge (7MGTE is in a 1990 Pickup) and the aftermarket gauge goes over 80PSI (gauge max) when I rev past 3800rpm.

Do I have the gauge reading from the wrong place?

Also the needle is kind of twitchy at whatever psi it is measuring.

The only real oil mods I have are Shimmed pump and remote oil filter with a thermostatic switch to include the stock oil cooler.

Thanks!
