    67 400 hp Oil Gauge

    Guys, it's been a very long time since I have owned a mid-year. I have found a 1967 400 hp car. I have been told the owner has the tank sticker but I have not seen it. The car was built late November. My question is what oil pressure gauge should this car have? The car has a 60# gauge. Please help me quickly. I don't want to make a very expensive mistake.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I should clarify, the car was built late November '66.

      Michael,

      It has the correct 60lb gauge in it!

      All 390HP and 400HP Corvettes had the 60lb gauge.

        Thank you very much. For some reason I was thinking it should have an 80# gauge. When I saw the 60# gauge, my heart sank. Did only 430 hp and 435 hp cars use the 80# gauge?

          Michael,

          Anything above 400HP had the 80# gauge.

            Thanks again for your help. This will now be a plus for the car when I see the documentation.

              Solid lifter cars had the 80# gauge.

                Michael, I'd bring along a '67 400 guru when looking at the car. They'll be able to tell you pretty quick if it's a good car or not.
