Oil pressure sender question - 1969 383

[MikeyM]

Hi all,

I have Rallye gauges in our '69 Bee. The temp reading is accurate (new sender and T-stat installed), fuel gauge is not (new sender from Van's) but at least it registers and I'm getting used to where the level is at certain points. My question is on the OP sender. I used a Standard Ignition gauge sending unit (bell type) and it says 90 PSI on the sender. My oil pressure says sub 20 PSI at warm idle - it looks to be about 10 PSI, maybe a bit less at times - and I have read that I may need an 80 PSI sender. I have not had a chance to buy a test gauge yet but I guess my question is do I have an incorrect sending unit? If so, any recommendations for the correct one? I read that Autometer 2241 is the correct (or one of them) 80 PSI sender for the Rallye oil pressure gauge.

Thanks,
Mikey

1970-1987 all with gauge is how they are listed. This one happens to be a Filko brand ftom back then.
