Hello folks, I have a 1972 Dodge Dart with a 318 that I have owned for 2 years, it has 13,000 actual miles with no engine modifications. While driving it this weekend on the highway the oil light came on, I pulled over and checked the oil, it was a quart low. I added a quart and the light remained on. When started the lifters now tick, if I increase the rpms the ticking stops and light goes out, when it returns to idle the light comes back on. When I remove the oil fill cap with the car running and increase rpms I can see oil reaching the rocker arms. The things I have done or checked so far are
1. Changed oil and filter
2. Removed and cleaned oil pressure sensor
3. Hooked up mechanical gauge to oil pressure sensors port, at idle (750 rpm) it was 5 psi, at 1000 rpm pressure was 10 psi
Any further help or suggestions would be appreciated
