The TBI might be on its way out. Haven't driven it since Christmas and it's been really cold lately. Drove it to get some food and the oil pressure gauge is barely reading. Like 5psi at driving rpms and maybe 10 if I go up in the rpms. Oil is good and clean and it's not making any horrible noises so not sure what's going on. Can the cold effect the gauge? It's a new oil pressure sender too.
So what's the other option? LS swap?
I'd love to if I could do it cheap. If not find another TBI to throw in. Hopefully it's just a gauge problem cause it doesn't seem like anything is wrong when it's running and driving.
Throw a known good mechanical gauge on there and compare readings...
Yeah I'll have to do that

I personally don't run any gauges at all! I just stop and get gas every single time I drive it. No gauges, no worries.... jk about the worries. I needs some damn gauges.
I just don't want to mess with that right now. Hopefully it's a gauge issue.
That's what she said!

Run it till it's rattling, then deal with it lol..
That's the plan haha
I've bought TBI 350's for a case of beer.

You find all the good deals
I`m starting to see how this works... Marty owns a bar, guy comes in down on his luck and drunk wants to get more drunk but ran out of cash.
How about a case of beer for the old piece of crap you got there...and the pile of parts gets bigger!

I'm headed to see Marty Friday to pick up some of his good deals for my 2 rigs.
Coming from the guy who pawned off a CARBURETED rust bucket in exchange for this fine piece of EFI hardware. To Martin, no less.
