redbird1 is on a distinguished road
Garage
I have aftermarket gauges in my 66, and the gauge usually reads 80.
I assume that is psi.
At idle, it drops to about 40 psi, then upon acceleration, it goes back up to 80 psi.
I think for these old cars that is pretty normal.
What you really need to be concerned about is if you get no pressure reading at all.
Bob.
