How much oil should be squirting?

When at idle, and when you rev... How much oil should be coming out of the pushrods on top of the rocker arm? I dont trust my gauge at ALL. When i bought the car (85 TA) it came stock with 305 carbed. Now its a 350 carbed. Non computer. Therefore i dont know for sure what all parts were used.

some will have none and some will put oil on the inner fender, how much or how little doesn't mean much. if you don't trust your gauge try another gauge, a mechanical one will be much better.

Thanks for the reply. I have been gettin my *** kicked trying to set rocker arms and I think that may be part of the noise im hearing. (being to loose) Which makes me so paranoid.
