oil pressure

1984 camaro z28 H.O.

When i start it up the pressures at 50

but when it warms up and the electric choke kicks off it drops to below 30 around 20-25

Its drives fine and only smokes when its warming up

My idle is also at 500 thanks to the mechanic

Is this the rite pressure it should be at?
