I deff need some help with this thing

I have a Pretty Beat 91 RS
350 out a nova, 78 i believe
Pretty sure it has a mild cam
Heres my problem number 1. I turn it off pull the key out and it stays on for about 4 to 7 secs.
Also I was wondering cause I idle at 500 rpm what my oil pressure should be. Right now it stays around 14 to 21 psi.
Driving tho im pretty sure its at the righ pressure being around 44 to 49 psi at about 2500 rpms or so at temp.
Kind of just starting to get in to cars. And Ive also Been misfiring with not today didnt happen once on my short drive around town. The motor is old and I am looking in to rebuilding soon but i do need it to last alittle while for now. Any help would be appreciated

The general rule is 10psi for every 1000rpm. That being said, I've had motors that don't register on the gauge at idle, and they lived their normal lifespan. As long as you don't have any knocks or other weird sounds going on...you should be good.
