Why don't you just test your gauge with a good oil pressure tester. I don't
get the point of having 2. Same with the temp gauge.

My temp gauge and oil pressure gauges were tested and compared to a digital
thermometer and mechanical oil pressure gauge and are accurate or about as
accurate as it gets.

with an additional temp and a volt gauge.

pressure?  I know that if I had 2 lines that drained, it each would flow
half the volume, but if they are capped, ahhh I don't know how that works.
