Its not that a modification would hurt. Its the small amount of oil pressure that the gauge would register on the model A. I wonder how many people that bought an oil pressure gauge called the seller with alarm about the 3 to 5 lbs. pressure that the gauge registers. Prospective buyers may not understand about the gravity and dip oiling system. Many would exp[ect it to idle with 45 lbs. pressure like some newer vehicles. Try explaining something to a person who probably thinks that they know more than you. Especially if you are trying to sell them a car that shows practically no oil pressure. I would rather just remove the gauge than try explaining to deaf ears.
