ok just got my new 402 in the car and got it fired up and at a cold idle is is at 40 psi which is a little low and then when it warms up at idle is is at 20psi and while driving it goes up to 30/40 depending on RPM. i grabbed the oil sending unit and i can move the plastic part, it will turn back and forth a little..you guys think the sendning unit is the problem..i sure in the hell hope so..im going to buy one tomorrow and swop them out..let me know what you think

If it loose it is possible but they usually leak if it is cracked /loose so GOOD LUCK.....

A good place to start, but a pressure leak would result normally in a fluid leak as well.

It could possibly be the o-ring on the pickup tube is pinched. A buddy of mine did that on his vette and it did the same thing.

I have tried and couldn't get to it and had to pull my FAST I wouldn't think it would make any difference which IM

I agree with srpoweredcoupeNWH and would check the o ring next.
