Re: what is the correct oil pressure for a small block

10psi per 1000 revs is pretty much the norm. I don't like mine to drop below about 25psi at idle, though.
I'd check the gauge first. You're right, pressure should be higher when cold (thicker oil = more resistance to flow) and should increase with rpm's.
