12A = 30 psi at idle, and then generally add 10 psi for each 1000 rpm climb, maxing at anywhere from 85 to 100 psi depending on the oil viscosity.

13B? No freakin' idea...let's see what some of the snoozing 2ndgen guru's have got to say.

13B is about the same. Factory spec on the FC is about 30 PSI at idle and 60-something PSI by 5000 RPM.
