On my 68 NYer with a stock 440. The engine has not been rebuilt, but I've had the heads off and I've done the timing chain. So, I guess the only factory gaskets are the oil pan, oil pump and fuel pump.
The oil pressure light has never came on unless the car has stalled. I put an electronic oil pressure gauge on the car. Due to the size of the sending unit I had to use a 4" nipple to install it. So, with all this said the gauge indicates about 20psi going down the road and a bit less when idling. Mind you the idiot light doesn't come on. This has me considering replacing the oil pump.
Which would you use and why? Standard replacement, high volume, high pressure or high pressure and high volume?
