Oil Gauge

i have this problem on my truck and my mustang more on the mustang though its a 67 coupe w/ 289/c4 and when i bought it the thing had oil pressure but it had been sitting so i changed the oil right away after that i have not had oil pressure since then its always on the low part and that bothers me cause i have it while it sitting at idle but as soon as i start to drive its gone on the L again am i missing something here

Don't trust the stock guage. Get a mechanical guage on it and find out were you really stand.

That was going to be my solution also. Electronic gauges usally have a tendency to screw up alot. I've relpaced all my gauges with mechanical gauges. That way you'll always know whats going on and it always removes that doubt in the back of your mind questioning if your gauges are working correctly.
