oil pressure
I got the new motor to fire tonight but i have a question. The guage that is in it is very "suspect" it reads all over and has for a year. I have a auto meter oil pressure guage that i'm putting in it tommorow to replace the bad guage. My question is on a brand new motor how long should it take to build up pressure on the guage. I fired it and held it at 1500rpm for about 10-15seconds tonight and the pressure showed 20psi and then went to 6psi and bounced around alittle. I'm pretty sure the old guage is bad(its a digital one) so i'm hoping its just that but dont want to hurt the new motor. Any thoughts on how long it should take to show on the guage?
Thanks!

Also i pre oiled with a electric drill but didnt show any pressure(bad guage?)i spun it for 1min...should i pull the dist. and spin it longer with the new guage attached?
