270 oil Pressure readings correct?

Hello, I just changed the oil in my 55 270 and wanted to check if these oil pressure readings are correct/ normal. Upon initial start have between 50-60. Once I drive it for a few miles and it gets hot drops to about 15 at idle and back up to 40ish on acceleration. These readings are with an aftermarket gauge.

Any guidance always appreciated.

That's not bad, It just says your motor is showing some wear. 1 lbs per 100 rpm is acceptable.
