I put in mechanical phantom gauges (oil press. , water temp. , volts) I have a 180* thermostat and the car runs around 185 or so while cruising and on the few warm days we have had it would climb close to 190* while idling for a while.
Oil Pressure hits right at 60 p.s.i cold. Fully warm it cruises at around 48 at 2k rpm's. Hot idle is a little scary though it sets right on 20 p.s.i. I am afraid if it is hitting 20p.s.i at hot idle now with the highs in the 70's it will dip to low this summer when it gets really hot out. This is with 10W-30 , how worried should I be about that pressure???
