Doesn't take much pressure to run a motor......
If she ain't squeakin or rattling....lay the hammer down
But if it is making noise, hit it extra hard

I have always heard the rule of thumb is 1lb for every 100 rpm. So at 700rpm idle, you need 7psi.
Yeah, that looks 17 ish at hot idle which isn't horrible.
I been sayin that for a while now
Stock gauges are nice, just harder to read than a aftermarket piece.
That's plenty of pressure. No worries!
Alright! Thanks guys.
Just being Paraniod I guess. I didn't want to screw it all up the first week.

glad you got the emblem already Dean, that actually took way less time than I expected!
what is your idle rpm? I think we had about 750 when the choke was open, and about 1500 when on high idle?
750rpm on a cold engine would be good to see above #20 w/ 5w30 in it, at 1500rpm cold should be up to 30#.... when fully warmed up, 15# at 750 is fine, but you should be up to 30 or so at 3000rpm when warmed up.

Barely Driven it Dave! But I did today for a few bit and it all worked great!
Thanks again Buddy! I`ll update the performance of it when we get slow around here.
big blocks are known for having not very much oil pressure, 10 psi for every 1000 rpm is what I have heard is good
My old mans 77 454 idles 20ish pounds warm idle, 85000 miles and a flattened cam later....still runs great and solid oil pressure.
My advice.....let her buck

I`m not worried about it any more...seems to be just fine!
The Kids were out driving it tonight while we milked the cows.

Made a little 16 gauge sheet metal plate to atatch it to the grill.
