Before I say anything else... John, I had no idea what sub-forum this belongs in so I posted in the general forum.

Does anyone know what the oil pressure should be on a 1974 Mark IV 454 running 11:1~ish compression?

I am planning on hooking up the factory gauges tomorrow to see if they work, and have no idea what a normal psi should be for my setup. If anyone has anyway that I can figure it out, generically because I don't know 90% of what has been done to do it, I'd really appreciate it.

I think this would fit in problem diagnosis.. although this place does seem to fit it..

I vote we make a subforum called "Jim and problems" for whatever your needs are Jim. :lol:

LOL... that might need multiple sub-forums itself.

I think this is ok for the main forum. There is nothing wrong with the car/engine that he knows of and just wants a stat (which I unfortunetly don't have).

well heres another completely useless post the you can read but wont answer your question. but to make it somewhat useful, usually the oil pressure is around 50 or 60

well heres another completely useless post the you can read but wont answer your question...

Thanks for the warning. :lol:

??? uhoh... That don't sound too good.:banghead:

lots of car are different, on the funnycar we run over 85 psi, depends on the oil pump too

Yeah, should be around 8-10 psi per cylinder on a high compression motor.
