I just changed the oil in my wife's 86' (258) & the oil pressure
is @ 48-50lbs on the street & hwy when I am sitting @ a light it drops to 18-20lbs. (stock guage), I tried to order the correct O/pressure guage but all of them are to FAT & hit the block & the one I did get that would fit in the space didn't work when I installed it so I replace it w/the old one.
Is this normal for the I-6, I don't remember cause I've been runn the V8 for a yr & a 1/2.
Thanks,

P.S. I used the Valvoline High miliage (75,000 +)oil & used 1pt. of Marvel Mystery Oil, it helps out w/the valves.
