I have a 74SB with a new rebuilt engine (JC Whittney HD oil pump), the oil pressure is about 5psi at an idle when hot and about 25 psi at 2500rpm measured with a mechanical oil pressure gage. My question is, with the idiot light pressure switch in the engine the light flickers on at an idle but is off with a little higher rpm. Should I not worry about this or try to get the oil pressure higher at the idle. What is the recommendation. thanks.
