Before buying or changing anything with the engine, I would get a mechanical gauge and use that to verify that the electrical sender and gauge is reading properly. After almost 70 years there could be some issues. My mechanical is semi-hidden in engine compt but will be permanent. For convenience, I used one of the 1/8" plugged ports toward the rear of the main gallery on pump side of engine as the connection point. My mechanical gauge reads about 50 at that point. Don't have the dash in or electrical gauge hooked up to verify what if any difference there might be but at least I am confident there is pressure.
