a strong engine should read between 150 and 180 pounds of pressure in each cylinder.
The 1979 Chevrolet 350 cubic inch engine oil pressure should be in the 40 to 45 PSI range. The more miles an engine has the lower the oil pressure will be.

I'm not sure what it should be on a new motor, but 100 psi is the lowest acceptable pressure per cylinder according to the Chilton's manual. Remember also that the lowest pressure cylinder should be within 10% of the highest cylinder, otherwise the engine could read a misfire. I have a '98 K2500 HD with an R-code 4 bolt main 350 Vortec, and my pressure is between 120 and 125 in all cylinders.
It is screwed into the top of the engine block RIGHT behind the distributor towards drivers side.
