    Oil Pressure

    I installed a  Smiths dual oil pressure/temperature gauge  in my 79 Midget 1500. The temp gauge reads the same as the original gauge.  I'm wondering if the oil pressure readings are normal.  On cold start it reads 60-65 psi at idle, engine at operating temperature and at highway speeds it reads 60 psi lower speeds 40-45 psi and at hot idle 25-30 psi.  Engine has 59000 miles.  Are these readings normal??

    Thanks
