As long as it builds and holds pressure I wouldn't worry. If I spin my car on just the starter it takes an age but if I start the car normally it's only a few seconds. The engine idles a lot quicker than the starter turns the engine.

So fired it up with the gauge connected, 80psi at idle cold. Left it running for 20 minutes to let it warm up and the lowest I was was 45psi. Guessing after a good long run it'll get lower still.

I replaced the relief valve spring with a new one, kept the old shuttle since it wasn't seized and ran up and down ok.

Seems like it's maybe ok?

I've still got a problem with the temp and fuel gauges flickering wildly with revs though. I replaced the voltage stabilizer with a modern type hoping that'd fix it but it hasn't, bit stumped with that one...
