Stock guages on crack???
Reserched guage problems: Didn't find the two of theese happening simutaniously! Speedometer has always been off, or everybody does 95mph on the e-way! This A.M. on way to work noticed oil pressure guage reading 25 (always above 30) and my volt/bat guage at 9 (always above 12) My concern is that within the last mont I have done the following and it had been fine untill today! I have changed oil - Level is perfect. New bat ,New pos & neg cables(cleaned ground at block), new starter, Tested Alt(fine), new plugs, wires, rotor, and dist. cap. Runnin 93 gas. Checked serp.belt looks fine and snugg. So are theese guages notorious for going wacky? Or did I miss something? Thank you if you actually took the time to read all of this! 91'bird 305TBI

Re: Stock guages on crack???
well post the answer - we are all dying to hear how you did it.
and your upset because you posted a poorly worded question at 2:18 pm - and did not have an answer a whole hour and 15 minutes later!
so now you figured it out - good for you. im still trying to figure out what your question was.
and you can chase electrical problems all week long and never figure out where the darn short or power drain is. that is a hands on search. you have to be there.
maybe next time you post a question you will not expect everyone to drop everything they are doing to answer your question within an hour of your posting it.
