So my '85 base model idles at ~500rpm on the stock carb. The oil pressure sits at 10-15psi while idling. I don't like the oil pressure, but I do like the low idle of the carb. I will be increasing my idle speed to help with driveability, but for now is this oil pressure safe for my motor? I have been holding my idle manually at ~1k rpm to keep my oil pressure up so as to not damage the motor if 10-15psi is too low.

At that RPM I wouldn't be concerned.

is that reading from the stock gauge? if so, don't pay much attention to it because they tend to be crappy, check your oil make sure you have plenty in there and you should be set lol

that reading is the stock gauge. I'll have to fish out my mechanical gauge and check it while it's idling in my driveway. I check my oil before every start because I have an oil leak at my oil cooler (no copper crush washers on the lines).


On that note, does anyone know where I can get the crush washers for FMOC lines?
