Once warm my oil pressure falls below 10psi and the green light comes on at idle.
I feel hot air coming out the oil fill. So I suspect the oil is getting frothy and not able to do it's job.

I have carbs. Timing is adjusted to Pelical artical recommended 34ish* BTDC.

Maybe that's too much?

Just did an oil change to try to remedy this. It's not buring oil.

What he said.

Even more basic than that, have you checked your oil level?

What RPM are you idling at?

34 deg is a bit much IMHO but that shouldn't affect your oil pressure. You're heads will have the issue.
