Decided to go for it tonight. Got the fuel hooked up, cranked it, fired right up and had 60 psi under 5 seconds on my mechanical gauge.

Yea, really glad it worked out. Now i just gotta figure why the digital gauge in the car doesnt register. Just stays pinned at 99 running or off

If your digital gauge isn't working you probly have too much sealant on the sending unit, it has to ground to the block to work right.

What does it do if you unplug the sensor?

The sensor reads 99 when it doesn't get a signal, its an intellitronix cluster. When its connected to the sender its doesn't change, still reads 99, doesn't even blip. If i ground the wire to the housing of the sender or the block it drops to 0, so i know the ground on the sensor is good. I tried first with the factory sender, then even bought the intellitronix sender, but it still does the same thing.

Default Oil pressure

You should try running it with the sender grounded, the gauge I have reads zero until the engine is running. It has a single wire going from the sending unit to the gauge. When I installed it I only put Teflon on the first few threads of the adapter/sending unit so I could get a proper ground, you should try hose clamping a ground wire onto the sending unit and see if you get a reading.
