Oil pressure drop
I am not new to racing junk but am new to the forum. Yesterday I was crusing my 68 Nova, temp got up to 210 and I noticed a severe oil pressure drop at idle. PSI went down to 20. Normal at idle is 40 psi. Motor is with only 6000 miles. 383 stroker. I brought it home and parked it. I will look at it today. I did however check oil level in car after I parked it in the garage and it was at a normal level, full.
As I would increase the gas pedal to get home the guage would up to between 60 and 80.
WAs i running to hot and therefore the oil PSI dropped? I will check coolant level, guage, and fan today just to make sure they are all functioning and at proper levels.
