This is the stock gauge. It startes out at 60 then after several minutes drops to 30-35. It usually stays pretty close to that. It has, on occasion rev'ed back up close to 60. When it does this it goes up and down with the RPM'S. I'm going to hook up a mechanical gauge just to find out for sure. All of my years dealing with small blocks I worried about worn out motors with low pressure. I'll let you know the outcome of this mystery. It will be about 10 days or so before I can do it. They are doing another surgery on my back on Monday (the third one). Thanks for all the replys.
