67 Barracuda oil pressure gauge
Even when they were new, the factory oil pressure gauges were inadequate. They are I believe bi-metallic gauges that move the needle through heat in the bimetallic coil. They were and are so slow acting that by the time the gauge notes a loss in oil pressure your engine is toast. I've always run a mechanical oil gauge as a supplement to the factory oil gauge. Water temp too, just because it tells you actual numbers, which the factory gauge does not.
