and the mechanical gauge does this better on the side of the road because you didn't know to turn the key to on to get the electrical sender to work?
i am just busting you..
as in all the years i've been screwing around with cars my electrical gauge has been just dandy. the 10 psi it may or may not be off means nothing with 60 psi of OP. after my first capillary tube hit my header and sprayed
oil freakin everywhere i was done with mechanicals, yes they are differnt now but, why not use modern electric components.
if you start with good quality stuff it should last your lifetime
remember we are not doing le mans, these are street cars, oh and with zero OP the sound of the motor should tell you if it is correct or not.....the clatter would be deafening
