Listers...It is rather chilly in Vermont today. 3 Degrees! atound my 
house.   Eliot, '53 TD (in witer storage in a heated to 50 degrees 
garage) always get a good 2 dozen hand cranks in the springs before the 
starter is applied...Oil pressure is instantaneous to about 55 psi. Then 
after 'he' warms up it drops to about 45 - 50 psi at running RPM that 
were it stays there.  At idle (500-600  RPM) the oil pressure will drop 
to about 20 psi. 
Not being that conversant with the system, could there be some kind 
blockage in the sump or lines?
Cheers and stay warm.
