Instead of an accusump why not just turn the engine over for 5-10 seconds and get an oil pressure reading. (not tracking the car) Pump the pedal and then start the engine. I don't have an electric fuel pump and this procedure seems to work for me. By the way the high oil pressure still scares the heck out of me. I dread shearing the dist. gear. George at Gessford Machine agrees as long as bearing clearances are normal..
