Normal cruise oil pressure should be about 35 PSI. I don't know what idle oil pressure should be, although I would expect it should be about half that figure.

My '54 6cyl. with unknown mileage would have almost 30 at idle and 60 at 2,000 COLD but after it warmed up it was around 15 at idle and 30+- at rpm.
