Oil pressure indication

Howdy,
I have a 71 Ranger XLT. My old oil sending unit was leaking, so I put in a new one. Now the indicator reads anyway form 3/4 to max. It moves, so I do not believe I have one that is for an idiot light. Anyone ever seen something like this?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Oil pressure indication

a while back all of my gauges were reading low. had a bad voltage regulator in the dash. this regulator drops the 12 volt to approx 5 volt. i used on out of a mid 80's truck. itll work as long as its the same type of bi-metal gauges.
