If I remember right, idle should be around 24 psi and at 3k rpm it should be around 68 psi. oil pressure should change with rpm below 3k and over 3k it should be flowing at max capacity.

Negative... That is for a 1988 he has a 1991 Car.

1988 = Idle - 24 psi MIN 3k - 60 to 70 psi

1989 - 1991 = Idle 10 psi MIN 3k - 50 psi
