Re: Update oil pressure

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or, in other words, 10 PSI per 1000 rpm. So if the 383 hot idle speed is 500, then having a minimum of 5 PSI at hot idle will keep the motor from seizing.  10-15 is plenty of pressure to keep the oil going where it should at idle.

Thanks,
Gary H.
