copper tube leading to the oil pressure gauge) and connecting the new

gauge temporarily, right under the hood. Any reason to think that

wouldn't work? >>



Gauges built for pressurized motors may not be sensitive enough to read

the low pressure that these old Super Six motors run on. The gauge Hudson

used runs to 5lbs or so, the typical SW mechanical gauge runs to 60lbs. Has

anyone tried a modern gauge?
