The best thing to do is see if you could hook either the new oil pressure gauge or another known good pressure gauge closer to the fitting where it comes out of the engine without all of the plastic piping. The gauge might be reading right???? Like was said in another post you don't necessarily need super flow at the gauge - just the pressure which will eventually build up even if there is a slight restriction. Remember the oil isn't going anywhere at the end of the line so it will build up eventually to engine oil pressure. If the oil could flow out of the end of the line the pressure would be nearly zero since there is very little flow. Massive flow out of the engine block doesn't mean massive pressure. Best bet is to measure the pressure at the engine with a known good gauge without all of the tubing as a precaution. A good farm or hardware store might have all of the fittings to do so for a temporary check. There are some known problems with the inexpensive gauges being accurate. Good luck - I understand that it can be frustrating.

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
