It will read several pounds lower than the port beside the distributor housing. Be aware that on some later model 327 engines, that the port above the timing cover DOES NOT have a passage drilled all the way to the lifter gallery- - - -it's just a dead end hole threaded for a 1/8" NPT pipe plug. You will get very low, or no oil pressure on a gauge connected to that port. It was originally used for 1955 only 265 engines that used a bypass oil filter. 56 and later engines had a full flow filter provision cast into the block back by the driver's side bell housing area.
