Default Water pressure on 496HO's
A friend is doing a dash upgrade and wants to add Water PSI gauges to his 496HO's.
Where would he tap into the raw water system to get a good reading?
Also what is a normal psi reading for the 496 at WOT?

On the rear of the engine there is a sensor in the PS cooler. You can get a brass T & tap in there. Jamie / Lakeside

What would you consider to be normal on the 525's at 90 mph?

You should see about 25-30psi i think with that setup. You should be good with 35psi guages. I got the bigger ones and wish i hadn't.
