High oil pressure

Nice car! My commando has 65 at cold startup and 40 at hot idle. I set my clearance a little on the tight side. I don’t see any issue with yours.

Hi Guys and Gals,

I have not posted in awhile but here I am with a question. I have a 1965 Valiant with a 273. The last while, not sure exactly how long but my mechanical oil pressure gauge is reading as high as 80 Psi when accelerating and 60 at idle. Seems high to me as it used to be about 40 at idle and maybe 60ish on acceleration. Maybe a silly question as I have not tried anything yet but could it just be the sender or the gauge screwed up? And also is the sender matched to the specific gauge and I'd buy a package with both?

Thanks in advance
