Oil pump looked good and clean and i did it myself, when i would start it in the mornings i would see that the oil pressure would jump up when i started it then go low as i would drive it it would rise up just about a quartor of the way

I had something similar with a '69 I had. It turned out that the pick-up screen had come off.
