RE: 100 psi oil pressure
By Charlie - 10/11/2003 8:48:11 PM; IP 67.235.62.62
I run a melling hv in all my 428 & 390 builds. I also restrict oil to the top end with 90k drilled holes. Oil pres runs 75 to 80 lbs on start up with 40 wheight oil 8 quarts in the pan and an extra .5 quart in the oil cooler and remote.

Did you check bearing clearence on rebuild, also your pressure relief spring may me stuck on pump. Check not only your cam dist gear for stress but also your oil filter, make sure no buldges. Also is your gauge mech or elec. If electric go buy a $15 gauge and check act pressure before pulling any thing apart. Do a search here on oil pressure.
Hope this helps

Charlie
