Well here is what im worried about,may be normal,i dont know.when cold the oil pressure according to the gauge says 45...then when warm about 25 average running 45mph..at redlights etc gauge drops right above the red mark sometimes,still idles perfectly etc,but i hate seeing it this low. I have no idea how many miles are on the engine since the original was replaced with this used one. im debating on getting rid of the blazer and finding me a 2 door v8 since thats what i really desired.

If you are at all worried about the oil pressure, you should verify the accuracy of the gauge with a mechanical gauge.

As far as Accel being a quality replacement. I have used their stuff before, but never on a modern ignition system. I recommend the AC Delco parts, but the higher quality Napa Echlin parts are pretty good as well.
