Title: Oil Pressure Gauge
Post by: jdomechanical on October 10, 2016, 11:14:49 am

Silly question, probably know the answer, figured i'd double check...

i have a 1987 GM v1500 TBI

I would like to know if i can directly swap out the metric oil pressure gauge for the imperial gauge.

As far as I know you can, its really based on the ohm rating of the sender the gauge is just printed numbers

The oil pressure and fuel level gauges are 0-90ohms in the 1973-1986 CK and 1987-1991 RV.
The gauges can be swapped around but the needles and silkscreening differ by application.
