Last week I noticed that my 1971 was VERY hard to start, would not hold idle and that the oil pressure was hovering around 60psi at full rpm when it should be around 35-40psi. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to look at or an explaination as to the reason for this. If there is anything I can do to fix the problem, I'd be grateful 'cause I'm scared to drive it now. I don't want to cause any engine damage.
Thanks
Terry
