The 1987 Chevrolet Corvette oil pressure should be between 45 PSI and 40 PSI. The idling oil pressure will be slightly less.
what is the normal oil pressure on a 1987 corvette when standing still
High oil pressure is good....

It is on the back of the motor under the intake.
Max's brother is Adam && Eve.
at the top rear of the engine, behind distributer
Correct. The oil pressure does fluctuate throughout the RPM range.
its the valve just above the oil filter with one lead coming off of it
c5 corvette has bad sending units[ engineer world its called a transducer], $600 to replace since the intake manifold has to be R & R ALSO, when cold the Oil pressure will be in the 70 psi range then when hot, on a stock c5 this happens quickly because GM designed the car to run hot to paSS EMMISSIONS, IT WILL DROP TO APPROX 20 PSI. Normal operationg oil pressure for a 1999 corvette should be anywhere for 50 to 60 psi depending on oil one is using.
The vtec oil pressure switch tells the computer when the engine has the correct amount of oil pressure for the vtec to engage.
IT IS LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE INTAKE... YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INTAKE TO CHANGE IT....
If the light was on before you changed the oil and you now have the correct amount of oil, and correct viscosity, then it can be that your oil pump is defective. not putting out enough pressure. if you have an oil gauge, if that shows oil pressure is OK, then your light can be shorted out.
