My oil pressure runs the same as yours. The amp gauge should stay around zero most of the time. If not get voltage regulator checked. Mine did that and ruined a brand new battery. If it is a voltage gauge it should stay around 14v. My fuel gauge works well till I get around empty then it starts acting up. Of course I've taken the gauge out of the tank and cleaned it up. My low fuel warning light doesn't work. Oh yea my clock has completely quit working.

Thank goodness for these postings - you may have just alleviated a heart-attack. I just got my 260Z restoration project running under its own steam and after 15mins of fast idling noticed that the oil pressure guage read 0 PSI. I didn't hear any bad noises from the motor and I am sure I would have after a total of 30mins running.

Bought a cheap mech. guage to test it but i'll be damned if I can get the sending unit unscrewed it just won't budge...
