Oil Pressure Question
I just bought my first truck a few days ago. It's a '78 F-150 Ranger Supercab with a 460 and c6. It runs great, but I notice that the oil pressure gauge is usually around the "l" in "normal". I was wondering what would cause this. Thanks.

or you could have a faulty guage. You can get a manual guage pretty cheep and install it, so you will know for sure.
