Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
It is higher than I would expect, but it could be accurate. If it is, I would not worry about it a bit. You may have a high flow oil pump. What is the reading at idle? That will give us a clue, but the only way to be sure is to hook up a seperate gauge and compare. If it's off, chances are it's the sending unit.
