all I wanted to do was change my oil....

I have a sandwich adapter, and have been running the same filter for awhile now. The reason for concern is that the last 10 oil changes have been a consistent 52ish at rev and 24ish at idle when warm. At cold it is a consistent 52ish normally so I believe there is a check valve of sorts.
And now its just constant 50ish with an occasional drop to 30 when idling at stop.
I don't think the filter would be faulty(1 in a billion right?)
And I just cleaned all the terminals on the mechanical pressure gauge ... no luck. After work I'll go ahead and pull the gauge, and check for blockage. If there isn't anything there I might just swap the filter. I just don't believe it would be faulty.

After blowing up my head gaskets last time the $200 spent to install a water temp and oil gauge to avoid repeats was well worth it. Integrating it into the a pillar is just me thinking of resale value.

Also there is a guy in Diamond Springs that does chevy engine conversions in Land Rovers, he has like a half dozen defenders and series trucks he drives around. Met him at the Liars Bench haha

the oil bypass is above the filter in the housing.
you haven't answered whether it's a mechanical or electric gauge.
In either case, I'd make sure sludge didn't get trapped in the sender or the line
Did you change oil with the same oil weight? did you get a single-weight oil? it honestly sounds like you bought 30w rather than 5w-30

Checked and clean, checked all terminals
I run 10w-40 conventional oil

BTW, do you have any pics or link to pics of how you integrated it?
