Oil Pressure

What should my cars pressure be at? I have an '87 GTA with the 305TPI/700R4. The gauge reads full all the time, regardless of what gear I'm on or how fast the rpm's are at. I'm lost...is this bad?

Replace the oil pressure sensor located on the left side of engine behind the intake manifold.

411... Hello can I have the phone number to Autozone... or better yet, try www.autozone.com. I don't know anyone who sits at home with a price list next to them. Isn't enough that some people are trying to help you out. Help yourself some.

Now for the legitimate question... it depends. Generally (have to use that before I get toasted) 10 psi/ 1K rpm is good... but that depends too.
