    Default OIL PRESSURE QUESTION? 86 5.0

    I have a 86 mustang lx with a efi 5.0. I just put new 3 pod guages in it (mechanical gauges) and have been watching them.

    Ok so my question is. On the oil pressure on cold start up it reads 50 pounds, then in about 10 mins go to 40 pounds, and then after fully warm it goes down to 30 pounds and thats where it stays at idle.

    As for the water temp is stays at 180 when warm and volts reads 14-14.5

    just make sure everything is opperating correctly.

    Does that sounds right ?

    sounds good.

    a good normal charging system works at about 14.3 volts.

    oil pressure seems good.

    and so does water temp.
