okay, thanks, looked funny with it all the way over.I have owned my 72 Imperial since 1992. I've added nearly 90,000 miles on it. The oil pressure gauge has always been pegged.

The one in my ‘67 reads on the high side too. Almost pegged and drops a few needle widths at idle when it’s warmed up.My 1972 Imperial also has an oil pressure gauge reading that is almost as far over as that one too. Must have been something in the gauge calibration that year.
I thought they looked funny. Not because I'm an expert, but something just didn't look right. The vinyl is a 'awkward' shade of tan that looks OK at a glance, but upon inspection kinda stands out. A-OK because you'll rarely see it, though.Those bucket seat backs have been recovered with some vinyl material. Every such seat back that left the factory and not replaced would have been all cracked by now. So there seems to be real attention to detail on that car. First one I have ever seen with that issue addressed.
I have seen this on a few different Ford models, it makes you have a gauge but it is really a glorified lightOn the OP gauge -
I heard that the Ford Crown Vics of the late 90s-2000s have an OP gauge, but it reads off a switch, so that the gauge is always showing in the same mid-range spot if the switch is satisfied (to keep the cops from looking at it too much?). I wonder if the Chrysler folks did something similar, to keep the Impy folks ignorantly pleased with the performance of their car...
