Will 216 oil pressure gauge work with a 261 engine? Will it read full peg all the time? Gauge reads 0-15-30 currently, with needle hovering around 15 being normal for the 216.

Hopefully 261 will also raise the needle halfway during normal operation. The numbers might be wrong but I can live with that as long as it doesn't destroy the gauge. Is there some kind of reducer that needs to be used?
