Time for a new oil pressure thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I guess its time for a new oil pressure thread. Why not. I don't often get time to work on my truck, so if anyone is wondering that's why my threads are sometimes about the same thing, 3 or 4 months apart.

So to get to the point:

What is good oil pressure for a TBI 350? I put in a new gauge because the old one got kind of sloppy even after replacing the sending units. New gauge seems to work much better, but now I realized that I don't even know where the oil pressure is supposed to be. At idle, the gauge says about 25psi. When revved to 3000rpm, it goes up to about 51. At 2000rpm its halfway between 25 and 50. Does this seem about right?
