When at idle, the oil pressure gauge reads about 2. As soon as you accelerate a little, it pegs out (hard), and stays that way. Looks like it is over-sensitive. Does this car have an electrical sender? Is this likely a bad sender or bad gauge? (I've never seen an electrical gauge get over-sensitive unless a shunt resistor becomes open). I have to repair the odometer, so I am hoping to fix the oil press gauge at the same time.
