I don't see how they could have driven these things back in the day, or I've got something wrong. 73 Cuda with a 340. Under moderate braking you can watch the oil pressure drop from 40 to 20 psi. With semi-hard braking it goes to nearly zero and the red light comes on until it recovers. I don't remember this happening with my '72 318 Barracuda way back when. Is this expected? I really have to pay attention so I don't give it the beans right after slowing down. I don't want to wipe a bearing. Stock 294 pan, it's a little beat up on the bottom but I don't' think that should affect this.
