Is there an oil pressure gauge with 60 PSI maximum? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all. I made the mistake of installing an oil pressure gauge that has a 100 psi maximum reading. This means that it always looks like I have no oil pressure. Back when I had the factory 60 psi oil pressure gauge, this wasn't a problem. The gauge would at least read that there was pressure. I'm hoping that someone makes aftermarket gauges that look nicer, but only go to 50 or 60 PSI.

I know you can buy those factory replacements, but it would look out of place as the rest of my gauges are non-factory.

87 5.7L if that helps. Thank you!

GM made stock gauges with 0-60psi and 0-80psi. Both senders are 0-90Ω

My tractor has a 0-40psi gauge and I've seen 0-60psi gauges

VDO V350040 is an 80psi oil pressure gauge and they make up to 150psi oil pressure gauges ( I used one on my 1982 VW Rabbit Diesel ) and as low as the VDO A2C59514210 with a 30psi sweep
