Oil presure '94 Z28?

What should my gauge on the dash be reading for a 1994 Z28 when operating under normal circumstances?

Thanks

Warmed up and idling at a stop about 20 psig. Cruising on the road at 60mph about 40 psig.

You also have to remember that the guage in the dash isnt exactly built to give out precise 100% acurate readings. Its there for the most part for a novelty. Now i'm not saying it cant help indicate a problem, i'm just saying that its not like it reading a few psi lower than the usual is a big problem.

Don't sweat that a bit. Like fbird95 said thay read poorly, but keep an eye on them anyway.
