Sorry about that - I'm not sure that I'd want to be in the same state as an "A" engine with 100# of oil pressure.
The pump itself is capable of that type of pressure, but since the"A" lube system doesn't have any restrictions, the typical pressure hot is pretty low.My old tudor hung around 2-3 PSI when warmed up. An oil pressure gage on a stock "A" really just tells you that you still have oil in the sump.
The Inserted/Pressurized folks here in Dallas run in the 25-30 P.S.I. (hot) range with the model "A" pump, though, without problems so I'm told.
