The 68-73 corvette oil gauge is very susceptible to corrosion at the pivot points. Can be fixed. Not a problem. If you are willing to pull it out send a PM and I will get you through it.

Sent you a PM regarding the rebuilding / clean-up of the pivot points.

Finally got around to removing the oil pressure gauge; can anyone here help guide me through the steps needed to get it working properly again? Nothing about the gauge seems broken, I can move the needle very easily and it doesn't seem to stick at all.
Of course that makes me think it's something more serious...............ugh. Last edited by Dave Rifkin; 01-13-2019 at 08:33 PM. Reason: added details |

Try looking at the oil filter bypass valve above the oil filter, maybe the bypass valve is clogged or stuck shut thereby raising the oil pressure, just a thought, without pulling the engine. Don.
