Question flutter of oil pressur guage

Hi there Klatta-klatta fanatics

85 300d running Rotella T

My pressure guage flutters, mad crazy!
Is my guage going bad?
Is my pump going bad?
Is there some kind of sending unit to check out?

Can you help a fella out?

Peace & Blessing to all!

change subject!

Last night I went to a memorial @ St john's Cathedral
Held for the over 100 people lost @ Fiduciary Trust/WTC
Beautiful, tearful service for the lives lost.
I commit myself to making a difference for my brothers & sisters on this earth!

I have 2 300D's and both of thier oil pressure guages flutter only after a very long drive, say 2-3 hours. Not sure what it is..

Mine Too

I have a 1977 300D. The oil pressure gauge has "fluttered", primarily at idle, since the car was new.

I'm not trying to convince you that you don't have a problem, or find out that I have one, but that is the way mine is.

PS,,,Turbo, quite a wreck on your other post.

It is a normal observation at idle after the engine is good and warm. Someone told me why once, but I have forgotten. If you see it happen while you are cruising at highway speed, then panic would be in order.
