Oil Pressure Guage

Post by Fred Bailey »

I'm working on a '79 Trojan 32 Sport fisher with twin Chyrlsler 360s. All gauges have a black face and manufacturer is only marked with the capital letter'D' on the lower face. I need to replace an engine oil pressure gauge. I need info re. original brand of gauge and is there any good cross-overs available? (I've tried a new VDO and it clearly won't work witrhout changing sender which means command bridge guage would need to be changed also)

Help? Thanks. Fred Bailey

Gauge Replacement

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

Those gauges are made by Datcon probably the same as the Tach. They don't make a similar gauge anymore. The closest I have found it a Chesapeak Stainless Steel model by Faria. You will have to buy a new gauge for the bridge and a new temp sender matched to the gauges but the oil pressure sender should work for a 0-80 psi dual gauge set up

Gauges

I also just purchased new Telleflex Heavy Duty Gauges that look real close to the OEM Gauges.
