After warmed up (measurements taken after a 15 mile high speed tollway
trip), my MGB shows about 10psi for each 1,000 prm while driving.  This
holds true for idling as well: i show about 10psi for an 950rpm idle.

Does this seem low?  The oil is 20W-50.  The main and rod bearing were
replaced about 10,000 miles ago, I don't suspect these to be the problem.
Does this sound like a potential problem with the oil pump or maybe a stuck
pressure release valve???
