Oil Pressure, huh?? My 428CJ pegs my gauge (goes past 80 to bottom of gauge), everyone _hits when they see it. It just does this when it's cold then runs around the 60 side. I built the engine last year, and have been driving it with zero problems. But everyone tells me "hey, dat ain't rite". I have an external oil filter, and oil cooler up in front with a standard pan, and the higher volume pump.
What grade oil should one run in these old FE's? A multi-grade or a single grade?
