motor swap question?
I put a 3800 out of a 98 Monte Carlo into my 96 Bonneville now my oil pressure guage is all the way over to the max. Car runs fine but I want to correct the guage. Any suggestions?????????

did the monte have gauges or a light on the dash . might have to change the oil sending unit on the motor to what your car was using.

on your old motor in your car did you have gauge or a light . if you change the one off of your old motor and put it on this one it should read normal . unless you have a pinched wire some where.

is this your old sender was it working ok before. try checking the wires to make sure none of them are pinched or cut . you got all the grounds hooked back up on the motor ??
