Oil Pressure?????

I have an 87 iROC with the stock 305 TPI with optional engine oil cooler, car has original 42k miles. Oil pressure needle seems to go all the way up to 60 on the gauge and then falls slightly below 60 while driving and after the car is warmed up. Is around 60 normal? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Oil Pressure?????

Thanks, just wanted to make sure the pressure was normal at around 60. It just looks funny that the gage is all the way up.
