Hi everyone, haven't been on in a while, I put a new motor in a couple years ago and the oil pressure was to high, a little over 80 cold, but dropped to 30-40 hot, I don't get to drive a lot so I didn't worry much, a few times the gauge stuck from going to far, then the gauge stuck for good so I ordered a new one and changed to 5w20, so far new gauge, new sending unit, new circuit board old one had a crack in wire, still no pressure, looked in valve cover plenty of oil, gauge and sending unit supposed to be for car/year, pulling cluster is getting to be a pita, thought about manual gauge but there is no good place to mount one, any ideas would be appreciated.
 
Tried old sending unit, tried old resistor [white plastic block] new one was just a spacer, got twelve volts to gauge. Nothing works. Now the temp gauge is stuck on 210dg. grrrrrrrr. car is trying my patience.
