What Dodgem said. If good there pull the dist/inter shaft & drill prime it (CCW) & go from there

Had this issue with my wagon. Ran at 80lbs cold 60lbs hot. Shut it off one time, started it up awhile later, valve train noise and 30lbs of oil pressure. I was at a show when this happened. I pulled the valve cover, check the valve train, all was good. I put it back together, started it up, and the oil pressure was back to normal. Changed the oil and filter after that. Could have been something got in the pump or filter. who knows.
I had a 400 pontiac once that every so often when you started it, it would make valve train noise. If i changed just the oil filter, it wouldn't do it again for like 4 months.
I'd change the oil and filter first, and see what happens.

Pull the valve covers maybe bent a pushrod then kick a lifter out! The lifters seem to kick out on start up think they lose their oil seal??
Yes, lifter not in its bore as described, or oil pump drive shaft failure, or or pick-up tube failure.
