Hey guys, first post -- great forum!

I recently acquired a 71 Chevy Fleetside. The oil pressure gauge always reads High (needle on the H). On cold starts and idling, and when driving. The only time the gauge is not on H is after driving for a while and idling at a stop-light, then the oil-pressure gauge is sitting dead middle.

Is this normal? Is it bad to have too-high oil pressure?

Thanks.
