Default 428 Oil pressure and leaking around distributor
Hey Folks,

I have a '66 428 with stock heads and an Edelbrock Performer 390 intake.

Two questions...what are safe oil pressures to run? My pressure was dropping a bit while idling, so I added Lucas oil treatment. Now it runs a fair bit higher. Anyone know what good idle/at-speed oil pressures are for a 428?

Also, I remember once someone posting a link to an article about Edelbrock intakes not matching up exactly with 428 blocks with respect to the distributor hole, and there being an oil leak unless some machining was done. Anyone know what that link is?

Thanks Much
