Hooked Gauges Up, Oil Pressure Gauge Not Working

[92GreenGT]

Hey guys, I finally hooked up my vac/boost gauge and oil pressure gauge on my A-pillar. The boost gauge works fine but the oil pressure gauge isnt so great. I used the same wire to run to the oil sender as I did to ground and hook up my lights. Lights work on both gauges also. What do you think happened? Is there a special wire I need to run to the new sending unit?

Also, whats normal vacuum at idle? The gauge stay at "16" on the vac side, does this sound correct? Thanks

Oh yeah, I fixed my own problem. I hooked everything up and wired it all up thought I was the best thing on earth. Then I start it up to find the oil pressure gauge isnt working, so I come in here and post the question. So I think about it some more, and realize....I didnt run a damn power wire for the gauge. HAHA so I fixed my own problem, but does anyone know the Vacuum question? Thanks

whoa, did my dad post on this thread too - im certainly not 'sir.' LOL.

no problem - enjoy the new gauges. as you will see on the other thread, ive recommended a temp gauge for ya too. LOL. you can get a voltmeter or oil temp gauge, etc to complete the quad-fecta [sic] of gauges.
