Factory gauge? What RPM when the pressure drops?

If there is not one there, very could be your problem,, the higher the RPM the more wind off the crank.. It's foaming the oil.. If there is one on there you will see the side of it,, along with 2 oil pan gaskets..

I like to check the simple things first. Stock gauge or mechanical? Have you tried a different gauge or sender unit? Stock pan should hold 5 quarts of oil. I always put in 6. 1 for the filter.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

I'd make sure the gauge is working before digging into the motor. Worth a shot, right?

Incorrect. A stock pan holds 4 quarts of oil, and one for the filter. Page 9-98 in the specifications section, of the 1970 factory service manual.
