Here is what and where you will find the oil pump pressure regulator valve and spring. They are located on the pump cover at the bottom.Mine has two nuts added to shim up the spring for higher pressure. They have been lapped to a particular thickness too.You just remove the nut that is actually the spring cover.Out come the spring and maybe some shims.Then a magnet might be needed to pull out the valve. Hope this helpyou and maybe others.

Mike the oil pressure regulator valve and spring are in the oil pump for the 810/ 812 engines. I posted some pics of this last year when I opened my oil pump for restoration.

Frank Cek was able to find a Jeep pickup unit that looked similar to the picture you submitted. Just had to modify it slightly. He said the idea of a floating pickup is no longer needed, since modern oil is much better than the 30's grade.

Curt: My pickup tube had been installed wrong. All it had was a tube with a screen on it, no floating "cannister" head.
Any small amount of debris would clog that small tube. It was changed-out to an auburn type pickup floater-style.

My guess is the auburn oil pickup is very differant from the floating pickups found in the 810 812 Cord engines. Remember the Auburn engines had oil filters I recall but no filter in the Cord engines. engineering back then believed a floating pickupwould only draw the "clean oil" off the top of the resivour. Sadly they did not think about all the material dropping down from the running engine into the oil.

Mark, is an 810 / 812 oil pickup the same as Auburn?

My guess is the oil pump relief valve has failed. Might need to remove oil pan. Then remove pump and have someone check it out.

I had the same problem on my Cord. It turned out to be the oil pickup was partly blocked. Had to take down the oil pan and replace the pickup with a better unit

I would check the oil pressure relief valve, it may be stuck .

A call for a bit of help ! What could be causing an issue with the oil pressure gauge ?
The car is getting 'recommissioned for street driving . It starts and sits at idle and the
gauge reads '80' More idling and then the gauge Max's out and then drops to '70' and
won't move . So I disconnect that guage and substitute a new gauge . Start the car and
let it idle again and it reads '80' and then after a while with minor rev to fast idle speed , the
new guage Max's out and then drops to '70' and then it won't move . All a bit weird to me .
Anyhow , any help in solving this issue would be much appreciated . Hope to be on road soon .
