Oil Pressure / Gauge / Gauges (2) Huh?
While replacing the hard-to-get-to oil pressure gauge/sensor, I noticed
another gauge coming from the same connecting unit. What is this?
Do they both have the same function? Also, what should the oil pressure
read, approximately for the '94 LT1 with a mix of 5w/30 & 10w/30 Mobil
Oil? Thanks

When engine is cold around 60 psi after warm up around 20 to 40 would be normal

On the late model cars,
there is the combined three wire unit containing the OP switch for pump /sender for the digital gauge
as well as a seperate sender for the analog gauge
Early cars had a seperate two wire OP switch and OP sender for pump
