Hey well i got my motor togather and in the car. I went through the whole thing had the block dipped cylinders honed all new bearings and everything. I allways had 50 psi oil preasure until last week i changed my spark plugs and leaned out my carb. I have an autometer guage but the sender is not screwed in directly to the block i have a couple brass fittings connecting it so it will fit in there. Is there a possability that the sender could be bad. My oil preasure drops down to like 9 or 10 after i drive for 20 min. and on the highway i cruise at around 2700 rpm's and only 25 psi. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am allmost posative that it is the guage or sender but please give me any imput.
Thanks
Chris

It could be the sender, I would hook up a mechanical gauge if you can this would tell you what the oil pressure is, the brass adapter fittings should not changed anything.
