302 oil pressure?????

[treihesse]

How many PSI should it read?? Im showing between 45 to 60. Is this good or bad??

It is good.

Old worn out engine might only make 10PSI at a hot idle.
Fresh engines with high performance pumps can make upwards of 80 or more.

45-60 is good.

that's darn good I'd say.

General thumbrule for a warm engine is 10 psi for each 1,000 rpms is okay. You're fine unless you're getting up to 60 psi at idle on a warm engine, that would be too high.

psi

it was cold and right at 50 ish warm i would say it was running 45 ish, like I said I just started the motor a couple times so far.
