It sounds as though the oil pressure is ok. I'm running a mid sixties 327 and on a cold start my pressure completely spins the needle around till it pegs on the other side of the pin and slowly reduces as the engine warms. Oil pressure follows the general rule going up as rpm's increase. I changed to straight 40w for the summer with a bottle of STP. I'm using the Valvoline VR-1, has zinc but not as much detergent as regular oil, and it's rather expensive, but good oil.
