What is the Proper oil pressure for a 350 engine?

A good rule of thumb is 10 lbs. pressure per thousand rpm. I don't like to see them fall below 15-20 hot, at idle, in gear, but anything above 60 lbs at wide open throttle is a waste of horsepower. Use oil viscosity to fine tune the pressure to desired limits. ie: 0w30 or 5w30 to lower the pressure, 15w40 or 30w to increase pressure. (Based on a standard of 10w30 or 10w40)

There are two parts to the radio, the radio head unit which is in the dash and the receiver. The receiver is in the storage well behind the passenger seat. Open the door to the storage well. Remove the plastic storage well - just pull it out. Remove the carpet - just pull it out. The tuner box is right there under the carpet. It is attached to the body with two velcro strips - just pull it off and remove connectors and antenna lead. Hope this helps. -Mike-
