Hi Rod
As a rule of thumb atmospheric pressure is 14 psi therefore around the 110
psi mark should be the right ball park! I am sure someone will provide an
accurate figure, but I thought this may help until such information reaches
you. Also don't forget more important than the right pressure is even
pressures, though an engine will run reasonably evenly with as much as 20lb
difference on pressures of around 150 psi I know this I had one, (pressures
were 150 130 140 150 ran a treat).

Graham.
