Hi guys I'm new here I have a 1988 Mustang gt I just bought it for $600.00 and it didn't run or drive. So I put a new fuel pump, ignition switch, alternator, battery in it and fixed some wiring that was all burnt up. I did a oil change on the car and the oil was black coming out and somewhat thick had to take a screw driver and put it in the drain plug hole to speed it up.I ended up doing a oil system flush on it before putting the new oil in ran it for about 20 minutes then put the fresh oil and filter in.
I took it out for a drive and I noticed the oil pressure was low I would get to about 2,0000 rpm and it just seems to stay at the first line then drop almost to the red when I get off the gas. I stalled the car and went to go start it but it had a bit of a hard time turning the engine. It aslo has a bit of a ruff idle I think its because of the old gas that was in the tank is mixing with the new gas.
Is it safe to drive the car or should a do something to try and fix whats going on? I'm just afraid of blowing the engine.
