1930 Side Draft Engine Oil Pressure


Guest Gshort

Recommended Posts

My first post; please bear with me.

Restoring convertible coupe, drove the car twelve months ago and had about 20-25 psi on an auxiliary oil pressure gauge. Two months ago I drove it again and the pressure appears minimal. Can this be adjusted by the fitting adjacent to the distributor? Suggestions?

Thanks.

Have oil pressure now; about 40 psi at moderate idle.

Final fix included cleaning regulator cylinder and piston of muck, stretching the spring slightly from 7/8" to 1-1/16" and changing oil - again. Thanks for the help.
