I just acquired a real nice 1985 Silverado. It supposedly has crate 350. The oil pressure gauge pegs over to 60 lbs. when I first start it. It stays there several minutes then settles in at about 35. Any ideas on what might be causing this? My first thought was a faulty gauge but i've never had one act this way. Also how can I identify this engine as a crate. THANKS.
