  Hey's Guy's! I just have a couple of questions I'd like to ask. I own a 1937 Ford fordor with the 85 HP engine. 1) What should my oil pressure be at idle and at cruising speed? 2) What should my amp reading be on my generator at idle and at cruising speed? I will not be driving it at night. Thanks again!

  The oil pressure depends on the weight of the oil that you are using and the oil pump. With 30 weight oil, you should see 20-30lbs when the engine is warmed up and cruising.

I like to set the 3rd brush for 0 amps with the headlights on and the engine running at about 1500 rpm or 30 mph.
