Sounds like the pressure is good, did you bleed the air from the line before the final hook up? Aslo, what kind of oil line did you use, braided steel, copper tubing or the plastic stuff?
 






no i used an electric gauge from autometer i just used some brass fittings to make it fit along with an oil temp sender and the stock sender
 






Yes that is good pressure for a Ford 60 degree V6 :)
it will fluctuate quite a bit, its normal
