oil pressure
Got a question about oil pressure. I noticed during my last run that when the car shifted into 2nd gear my oil pressure dropped to about 15-20 for approx. 1 second then went right back to 45- 50 for the remainder of the run and the return road. The motor is a super stock Ford 289. I use a canton pan and pick up. I double checked the pan to pick up clearance and seems to be ok. Any thoughts??????

Re: oil pressure
Is it front sump or rear?
Also, HV pump or std. volume?

Re: oil pressure
Maybe the oil is shifting to the rear while the car is accelerating while the wheels are up ,and Wow you are really multitasking I can barely watch the fuel pressure gauge and its right in my face.

Re: oil pressure
Mine does that when I get low on the oil level.

Re: oil pressure
Sorry, it is a front sump pan and a standard volume pump.

Re: oil pressure
Is the sump open around the pick-up? A trap door/ baffle would help keep the oil at the pick-up.
