If the oiling holes are in the wrong orientation, could that cause low oil pressure or just lack of lubrication to the valve train?

Yeah I’m more concerned about the idle pressure being so low. When I speed up, the pressure does increase, it’s just when I get to a stoplight with it in gear that it drops low and I just get panicked. I haven’t heard any noise like ticking that would indicate pump starving for oil, it’s just...

Hot idle got as low as 10 , can’t remember what hot max oil pressure was probably 40 +, but like I said it’s been a while since I drove it and don’t remember. I know of a friend that has an old truck, 67 power wagon with a 383 and it has good oil pressure 80 cold and probably 50-60 hot. I don’t...
