Hi guys,
   I've been driving the old Binder on & off the last couple of days. I =
noticed after it is warmed up good my oil pressure reads low at idle. =
(It seems low to me anyway.)  It idles at about 900rpm or so, the oil =
pressure shows about 10 lbs. I've heard 10lbs per 1000rpm, but seeing =
the gauge read that low makes me cringe. (10W-30.)
And the motor only has about 2000 miles on it.=20

Andy,
	I'm a little late replying, but I'm gonna guess that everyone would 
agree that you have a not so accurate or reliable IH STOCK oil pressure 
sender/guage.  The usual fix for this is an aftermarket, high quality 
mechanical oil pressure sender/gauge setup.
