Thats the normal range,hence the word normal. Nothing wrong with it. It goes up a little while driving though right?

If it's jumping around, there are a few possibilities:
Sump pickup too close to the pan
Bad sending unit
Faulty oil filter (clogging)
And worst case...bad pump.
The gauge though, completely within specs.

you have to lift the motor because you wont he able to get the oil pan out with the k-member in the way.

sounds like you were pretty set on doing whatever you wanted.BTW, (if it wasnt the sender) Bad/old pumps arent the only things that affect oil pressure. could be a bad lifter/s, excessive bearing clearances (or worn bearings). shoot,a thicker oil might have been all you needed. good luck.

the oil pan gasket? does it leak from the rear of the engine? id so it most likely would be the rear main seal

Here's the oil pressure sending unit. It's hidden behind the power steering pump. It's about $30. I'd be willing to bet the oil pump isn't the problem.

that bouncing around might be more accurate than having it sit in a steady state!!
