Oil Pressure Gauge Install

So is about 10 psi per 1000 RPM normal? Let us know what kinds of readings you see for hot and cold running conditions on the Z.

I'll definitely post readings when I get it installed. The service manual lists proper oil pressure at 15psi at idle and 40psi at 2k rpm.

I decided on the AEM Analog 0-150psi oil pressure gauge. I saw a youtube video of that digital gauge and the values jump around so much it's maddening. Both the digital number in the middle and the LED on the outside move all over the place. This would have driven me bananas....so analog it is. The AEM gauges have adjustable LED colors so you can match the interior orange too.
