327 Marlin 1966, what should the oil pressure be hot and cold at idle, has 10W 30 in it now and it seems low, 25 cold, and 15 hot. Thinking about putting 20W 50 in to bring it up some. Thanks

You're in the ballpark. Hot, a healthy oil pressure would be 15-20 at idle, and 30-40 over 1,500 rpm (for 10W-30). I wouldn't change oil viscosity. You're doing good where it's at. 20W is too thick when it's cold.
The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
