Default 93 camaro 5.3 Oil pressure gage?

After a did a 5.3 swap in my 93 camaro a few gauges didnt work. I now have them all working except my oil pressure. When I have my gauge cluster apart and the "border" around each gauge off the needle reads about 6 oclock, when i turn the key on my OP gauge turns to about 3 oclock. So in other words when i start my car the needle sits at 0 psi. When i bring the rpm up i can see the needle just lift off of 0 psi. I know u had to bring my car to my tuner so he could adjust my tach frequency so my tach would read correctly. Is this the same case? Bad Gauge? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Carter

The sending units are more then likely not compatible. You will need to use your 93 sending unit on the new motor for your old gauge to work.
