That looks like the way Buicks run, varying pressure with RPM. That looks like good oil pressure to me, mine almost pegs the gauge hot on the freeway, and about 30 psi at idle. It depends on what bypass spring is in the oil pump.

The 350 that was in my 72 would peg the oil pressure gage too . I’m going to reseal the motor and put it into the 68 Anniversary truck . Ran well just leaks oil everywhere .
