75 psi too much oil pressure for 390?

By Steve M - 03/31/2004 7:43:27 AM; IP 172.128.237.25

I just hooked up an oil pressure gauge to my 390 and it shows 50-75 psi oil pressure. Is that too much? It is just a stock 390 from 1970 and I threw on an edelbrock performer manifold and headers. Everything else is stock. Also, what is everybody's opinion on oil? 10w30,10w40,20w50?

Thanks
