Default 15-20 psi at idle.....

...if I set the idle below 750 rpm's (pretty low?) it goes down to 10 psi but "hunts" around a bit. Comes up big-time with rpm. I DO find numbers like 60-80 psi a little "exciting"---wonder what a standard oil-filter blows up at (psi-wise)? As to being "cammy". I'm doing a rebuild (now the target is 408ci, including "Australian" modified 2V heads--supposedly it will
produce 500+ ft/lbs. at c. 4500----or about 1000 rpm "earlier". We'll see. I have researched enough to believe that the Cleveland four-bolt beast is a perfectly good mill for the Cobra. We non-conformists must stick together!

Once the new build goes back together, I will add a Moroso accumulater. Dunno what that will lead to, but I got a little leery of OP looses in tight corners!

G'luck.
