I didn't have an oil cooler installed in the car so it's not that.

Also, having just done an LS conversion in my 70, the computer does alot of weird stuff....but iirc, you had a mechanical read with low op?
been waitin for an update from you, love your car, Mike

Mike, I used the ECU with its own sending unit and a proven autometer gauge and both read the same. Besides reading the same they both read a huge pressure drop as the engine oil reached operating temp n

What fitting sizes and hose sizes are you running because that could be a FLOW issue...

Yeah I agree 1" is too high. I measured the pick up back when exploring the problem and don't recall it being so far off from the recommended 3/8". No oil cooler so don't think tht is impeding the flow. Also I tried a different pan and pick up that was shipped on the motor and had the same symptoms.

So are they shipping the motor back to you now or in a holding pattern?

Mast will ship it back but gave me the weekend to think about it in case there is anything else I could think for them to check. It doesn't make sense to me. I can't think of anything that explains this.
