The oil pressure is not really controlled by the relief valve in the pump in a 216. The pump relief valve is set at 75 lbs to prevent drive gear failure(with very cold oil, I suspect). The actual 14 psi max pressure is controlled by the oil distributor on the side of the block.
Here is a link to the Chevrolet Service News that explains this, and warns against increasing pressure.
