high oil press) in my 86 GT. 

is the stock 5 bar console gauge in my 82 coupe considered reliable/accurate
?  It _appears_ to be driven by a wire from the same sender as the low press
. light, lower front of block, according to my haynes schematic.  Because
when I get low oil buzzes that I consider spurious (lightly revving in 4th
at 50 etc.) the gauge will be showing 4.5 bar of pressure.  

I have not fully troubleshot the system (since this doesn't happen much) but
I'm considering just switching out the inst. cluster relay per advice I
received last month.  I'm just going to use one from a parts car though, not
a new one.
