oil pressure

I don't have an owners manual for my '90 GXL. Just wondering what the stock oil pressure gauge readings should be. I have about 30 at idle 60 at wide open and somewhere in between while cruising.

the sensor is below the oil filter a little to the left if you look at the engine from the drivers side. It is a lone wire with a female plug on the end. It slides lengthwise onto a little nipple on the sensor. The wire should be yellow/red i believe.

rxcollector: you probably have a bad gasket in the front cover. probably should look into fixing that if you drive it hard.
