your issue was due to using the Fbody O ring. its a thinner O ring used for the cars pick up tube. the trucks run the fat Red Oring.
my 408 had 60psi at idle

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Just replaced a pump in a 06? 6.0 for low oil pressure (stuck regulator valve) and it had an orange/red oring. Check that valve while it's apart!
Great example pics George.... Sticky Thread with some cleaning up?

So since I am swapping to an f-body pan & pickup tube, I need to swap from my current red oring to the thinner blue one?
Gone, but not forgotten!
I'd make the red one fit... blue O ring is flimsy. I have one if you really want to use a blue one.

well, couldn't use the aluminum clamp I bought for the pump/pickup tube. The sump tube I have is the new design with the floating clamp, not brazed on the tube like in Quik's pics. I put the new red o-ring on and put it all together. Put new filter and oil in it and fired it up, NO OIL PRESSURE!!! It was better before.Now I have to find out if I broke a wire or something in the OP sending unit. I pulled the oil return block off above the filter and oil poured out so there is oil flow. I am going to put a manual gauge on it tomorrow to verify there is pressure before going any further.
