If he revs it does the oil pressure drop down then spike up or does it go straight up drom there. Did he change oil types or weight? I think the old rule is 10psi per 1k rpm so he should be fine. Besides the gauges on these cars aren't known for their accuarcy.

I have the same problem with my T/A, and after a while the needle goes down to the red line. I know for sure it has plenty of oil and I also replaced the sending unit and it didn't fix the problem... Please help me too!

Im researching now because my oil gauge in my 408 looks like that at idle. I have only owned the car for a month and it has only been on the road for 3 days. Im scared to drive it with such low pressure.
Any ideas?

cold start its around 35psi on the gauge. once hot its around 17-20psi.
Im going to change the oil and filter to 10w-40 and see what it does.
I just got the car so I dont know much about the motor other than its an iron block 408 stroker...
