The 1979 Chevrolet 350 cubic inch engine oil pressure should be in the 40 to 45 PSI range. The more miles an engine has the lower the oil pressure will be.
No it will not. Unless the oil pressure is low on the 350 engine. If you had good oil pressure in the 305, and the 350 don't then there is something wrong with the 350. Bad oil pump, engine bearings worn out, Oil pump pick-up screen stoped up. Things like that cause low oil pressure.

Need to know the year.
The 1997 Pontiac Trans Am 5.7 liter engine oil pressure switch can be found on top of the engine. The oil pressure switch will be near the intake manifold.
I have a 1974 Chevy truck with the 350 V8 and the engine is in good shape. At idle the oil pressure is 35-40 PSI, at driving speed it goes up to about 50 PSI. Hope this helps.

10w30 should work fine. Go to a heavier oil to increase oil pressure.
