To much oil pressure?

[dgkipp]

Hi Guys, my rebuilt 8ba with motor city flathead oil pump system. Runs great no oil leaks.
At 3500 rpm is showing 70 pounds oil pressure, at 25 at hot idle. I see where most guys are trying to get more oil pressure . Is there a problem with these numbers?

70 lbs seems like pretty high oil pressure for a flathead.

What grade of oil do you have in it?
verify with a mechanical gauge.

Theres nothing wrong with that oil preasure. Drive it and enjoy it.
