I’ve spent most the afternoon searching the site and reading about oil pressure readings because of the #50 and #80 senders and oil pumps. Please don’t attack me for asking because I have read so many posts that I now have information overload. I have a 40 Sedan with the #50 gauge and sender, engine is a 42 from what I’ve concluded which in turn makes me believe it has the #80 oil pump. Has anyone come across a sender that will make the #50 gauge read some where close to accurate with the #80 sender. My next step is to install a mechanical oil gauge but I’d like to have the original gauge somewhat functional.
