well it depends on the motor but any thing under 30 is not good if you have a 454 in it it could run up to 50 to 70
what is the normal oil pressure on a 1987 corvette when standing still
The 1987 Chevrolet Corvette oil pressure should be between 45 PSI and 40 PSI. The idling oil pressure will be slightly less.
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.
High oil pressure is good....

Low oil pressure can be due to many problems. A bad oil pump is first guess. A bad oil pressure sending unit could also be one. The engine oil level is below operating levels. Bad cam bearings could also affect oil pressure levels. The oil pump only provides the oil supply. The main, rod and cam bearings provide the pressure as the oil is squeezed past them.
On my '88 vette it's on the rear of the engine near the distributor cap driver side of engine. It has 2 wires out of the top.
It is on the back of the motor under the intake.

The oil pressure switch on a 1989 Chevy Camaro RS is located on the bottom of the engine hear the oil filter. It constantly monitors oil pressure and updates the computer on its status.
Correct. The oil pressure does fluctuate throughout the RPM range.
at the top rear of the engine, behind distributer
