Normal A oil pressure

What is normal oil pressure for an A? Mine runs well but I think the pressure is low. Someone replaced the gauge so I need to get a new one to make sure I can trust it.

I can work the snot out of my M and it might drop to 70 PSI. When I work this A hard it drops to about 35 pounds. No bad sounds, doesn't use any oil or smoke, but I am getting some blowby out of the oil fill and I have no idea of its history. I'm thinking it may be time for a winter rebuild, but maybe they don't build a ton of oil pressure?
 
My BA has the factory gauge on it that does not give numbers and when hot it reads just in the good area and it has done so since i built it. Like many old tractors oil pressure was never all that high and if over 5PSI on many your just fine. 35pis is extra good if not super good. 70psi I would be worried about due to blowing seals etc.
