Now there is a happy T connector with the switch and sender on the two ends. The gauge is a Sunpro electric gauge/sender that reads to 100 psi. I have a question about my oil pressure readings. On a cold start, at idle, I read 65+ psi. For the first few minutes running at 35-45 mph I read between 60 and 75 psi, depending on RPM and load. When warm I see between 50 and 70 psi running at non-highway speeds, and 35 psi when stopped. Is this normal? Thanks, Ari Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

Maybe a little on the low end of the normal spectrum, but nothing at all to worry about.
