35 oil pressure gauge and 80 lb pump?
 

Guys my buddy asked me a question tonight and I don’t know the answer. Can he use an original 1935 50 lb oil pressure gauge with an 80 lb oil pump and 80lb sender unit? His Aussie 35 coupe Ute will be running std 6volt wiring harness. Thanks Dan.

He can run them together... The pump is still going to do it's thing, but but the gauge will give a false reading. Best to get a 50# sender so he knows what's happening.
