It felt very good to look down and see the mechanical at 60 all day...

I do all kinds of stuff that's bad for me, worrying about oil pressure is
probably the least of them. :)

 60-63psi is normal once the oil's warmed up.  Quit being like me,

  So, changed out from the Rotella T 20w50 to Valvoline synth 10w30.. same
  pressures globally. Go figure. Saw 60-63psi on track all day, and it was
  a scorcher for here, around 90*. Took the gauge off the car, hooked it to
  the regulator on the air compressor and it reads the same as the air 
  compressor gauge, so confident the mechanical gauge reads accurately.
                                                                       
  So, got great pressure, and running 20w50 vs 10w30 made no change.. odd,
  but whatever. :) Track day went well, except for a corner worker telling
  me I have a small puff of smoke occasionally from under the car. Found
  the front fender liners both rubbed, so perhaps it was just that.. no oil
  usage or leakage, so no other ideas. Replacement tranny and rear ends
  worked very well, extremely pleased to be driving the car again! :)
