Best way to check is with a mechanical test gauge. I just did this on my 77 440 and the dash gauge was reading erratic and near zero. Test gauge said 30# at idle so I replaced the sending unit. Now the dash gauge says 30# at idle. I think I should get my money back from Dodge, that sender only lasted 27years! If you get a replacement sender get one from NAPA, I've had problems with some of the other stores junk senders.

when was your last oil change? when you put too much oil in, the crank whips it up and lowers the oil pressure. you might want to check to make sure your not over full.

I have never seen oil psi get lower from to much oil in the pan, but to the original post just get a mechanical guage and forget the factory guage, and hope it's the guage
