If the flow seems to be too little you can pinch the over flow tube and it will force more to the rockers. I don't think you are in danger of over oiling them, but if I am wrong some one will tell us why. What is your oil pressure gauge indicating when fully warmed up at idle and on the road? 15-20 at idle is good for a 216 and 20 or more tells you that the bearing clearances are good on the road. That 216 will last a good long time if you don't try to make it go 70mph. It was made for work and a slower road speed. I for one can not imagine attempting 70mph on any road from 1920 to say 1960. That would be insane.
