If it makes you feel better, My oil goes down to 15psi coming off the 
highway
also, sometimes 10psi on a real hot day. I have a poly 318- top end 
rebuilt
a few years back. I use 20-50 oil.
A fan shroud makes a big diff. in controling water temps.!
My Poly does not like 205-210, if I'm reading the gage right.
I use a 180 themostat. with shroud it stays there!

My speedo used to jump around a lot, and finally gave up. It made noise,
just before it gave up, from behind the dash. So maybe it
came loose back there? Haven't checked yet.

hope this helps, Schuyler
