1977 chrysler cordoba 360 44bl.

My oil pressure gauge often reads nothing.. or zero.. or bottom of gauge. (there is no numbers on the gauge)

The car runs like a top. never has problems since I have done the timing chain, water pump, thermostat, alternator, rebuilt carb, edelbrock performer intake, recent tune up.

Eventually, it gets to 1/4 and pretty much stays there. occasionally it drops back to zero, I think it happens at red lights and low RPM's

Is this normal for this car? What is "normal" oil pressure? There is no ideal markings to indicate what is normal.

I do know one thing: it has never gone over 50% of the gauge. if that means anything.

Again the car runs great. no ticking, grinding, anything. and it's been this way pretty much since I got the car.

any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

I messed with the connector on the sending unit and I think all is good now. it seems to read "1 line" most of the time now, and goes up when I give it gas. I think I will replace the unit in time.

Thanks!
