How to install gauges by Autometer, Part 2 - Mechanical Oil Pressure
It's time for a Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge, for my Pontiac, by Autometer. All because I don't like second guessing my 50 year old dash gauge and sending unit. Last episode we found a gauge location, and installed a Mechanical Water Temperature gauge. If you missed it, check out the first rebuild episode were I tear down the engine, the bearings were toast! Resulting in LOW OIL PRESSURE! Hence my need for mechanical gauges.
In this episode, "How to install a Mechanical Oil Pressure gauge, by Autometer, Part 2", we review the three different types of gauges (Mechanical, Air Core, and Digital Stepper Motor with Solid state sending unit) While this is applicable to any engine, this particular video will show the back up pressure port on a Pontiac 400. Enjoy!
