oil pressure question

My oil pressure guages goes from 0 to 60 I think by tens per line?

It is about half or 30 psi at idle and around one line up from half 40 psi at cruzing speed does this sound good or bad???

Thanks

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.

Mine reads exactly the same as yours. My motor is a '78-ish so it should be similar to yours.

how weird does this sound. my engine temp runs at 150ish all the time unless its still cold. and my oil pressure stays around 35. for a stock 305 is something weird here or is it the 19 year old gauges
