That was mostly for 2.7l and later engines.
The tech Spec Book for 1969, 70, 71 (2.0-2.2l) gives:
"Oil Pressure in warm engine @ 5,000 RPM = 5.5 - 7kp/cm2" I think that works out to 78 - 94.56 PSI

Both my 2.2 (1970S) and 2.4 (72T) engines made 10-15psi at idle and were near 50 @+3.5k rpm with Castrol 20-50.

Fpb I thought I read opposite 2.4 and later never flickered but earlier did. I am sure Steve will know for sure.

I've just had an email from http://www.redlinetechnik.com/ and they suggested to buy the adapters from the UK because the shipping is around $100.00 plus i will have to pay import tax when its reaches the UK anyway, so i'm on the hunt over here.
