You need about 15 psi to keep the bearings floating. Anything much over 50 is not really needed for a gas burning motor. But your experiences may differ, I have a friend with a buick T-type that only had 5-6 psi at idle, for several years. It runs 11's all day. 75 psi is not too high. Too much oil pressure and you can blast pits into the bearings, as well as the extra load on the timing chain and distributor.
