I tested it with the two outer gauges as the inner one was sitting a 5lbs with nothing connected, so I figured that was not best gauge to test with.

The reading was 35lbs at idle. Now I have the by-pass oil filter hooked up, so I am not sure how that affects the overall pressure. I guess I still have a nagging question whether or not the by-pass filter requires some type of a restrictor?

When I got the engine (if you guys remember) the filter was not plumed in by-pass, but from the sender port, through the filter, and back to the block to feed the upper end.
