10-30 is about normal, I don't recall my 57 ever getting above about 30 on the gauge and it was a good engine w/ about 50,00 original miles

Chris - what RPMs and temps do you get those readings and what fitting on the head gives you a correct pressure? have you compared other gauges on that block fitting?
