What is the "normal" oil pressure range (on the dash guage )for a TR6 at highway speed?

I swear my oil pressure has headed north on the guage....today was 75 lbs at speed. I am accustomed to a reading nearer to 55-60 lbs at speed.

what is the deal with these triumphs, your pressure went up for no apparent reason and mine dropped in half for no apparent reason, I am stumpted
 
My TR6 runs at about 65lbs on the gauge at speed and fully warmed up
I rebuilt the lower end last year which added about 20lbs.
A malfunctioning pressure relief valve on the oil pump could cause high oil pressure, or the gauge could be acting up.
Low oil pressure is usually a function of worn bearings but could also be either of the above.
