460 oil pressure

Just hooked up a new oil pressure guage the other day, and when i first start it when its cold the oil pressures about where it should be, but once it warms up it goes down to about 10-12 at idle, seems really low to me is this ok?

Assuming you are not using a Fram filter, I wouldn't worry about it yet as long as it's not knocking.

Does it come right up as soon as you touch the throttle? if so your probably getting some wear in the bearings but as stated probably not enough to worry about yet. If it stays low, then yeah you need to get into it.

Mind does the same when warm according to my mechanical gauge - 10-15 psi at idle (mine is a bit low) but right up to 40-ish when cruising down the road.
