what should a 5.0 be at idle and at revs ive never thought about it my ranger seems to be on the low side im gona change the oil and one of the oil lines is f'd up so im gona change that too if worst come to worst ill pull it next weekend and do one im just trying to make sure thats the problem
my car at idle is about 12psi, i heard that it was cuz my motor was built loosely and its a good thing but thats what i heard. the rule of thumb for oil psi is 10 per 1k like snakebite stated.
are you running a mechanical gage if so double check that the tubing is not pinched bent or cloged cause i seen that befor and will thro off the reading.... also i heard if you put it in sertain ports the reading will be off also... dont quote me but this is what i have been told thruout the years good luck

Purolator makes one of the best. The motor craft filter is actually a purolator pure one cartridge in a purolator classic case. Good cheap filter.....fl-1a all the way

okay i dont trust it i want to change the pump out it keeps going to 10 at idle and only going up to like 30 at like 5500 anyone ever do a pump in a mustang i always pull the motor i just wana try to do it quickly i have alot to do before nationals i have alot more room than a mustang like 4 inches
ide say if u got a the tools just take it out. seems like it would be a night mare of aggravation trying to finagle all that shit . its only a couple wires more to disconnect and some bolts
thats what i was thinking but i dont have time now to do a motor swap i figured i do the pump i have a lift and shit so id try it in the truck if i cant ill pull it but ill just buy a low milage bottom end if i go threw the hassle but if i can swap pumps and its good so i can get the summer out of it it would be sweet and im gona rebuild something for it this winter
yeah you can def get the summer out of it. i got the summer out of an engine that had zero pressure at idle. its common for these engines especialy ones from the late 80's.
i keep going back and forth on buying another mustang and realy i dont think im going to im going to build the ranger the only car i would want is a gt vert but i think im going to stick with what i have for awhile anyways hoping it will have alot more done to it next year
