I hooked an oil line to the 58 with a 327. Same type old stock gauge.
It reads real high, past the meter (60) with some gas. Acts like a tach.
At warm idle it reads 30, normal. If anything ,too high. I just wonder about these older model gauges.
I hope my new engine in my 59 panel is OK. That would probably ruin me.
