normal oil pressure is about 15-16 psi. there is a plug on the right front of the block with a spring and plunger-this is the pressure regulator-adding shims between the plug and spring will increase pressure |

What oil filter base do you have, aluminum or cast iron? The older aluminum bases had a habit of the stem that goes in the filter would come out of the base. Behind that stem is a restrictor disk with a small hole in it. It would become lost. If that disk is missing you will have low oil pressure as well. |

Check your new gauge and make sure it's calibrated for low pressure. |
