Drop in oil pressure

I recently had to replace my oil pump because it fell apart and locked up and caused the roll pin in the distributor to break. Anyways after i replaced the pump i had real good oil pressure and now a few months later my oil pressure has dropped down to 10 psi at idle and going down the road. I have installed a manual oil pressure gauge and i get the same reading.

Drop in oil pressure

Did you look at the main and rod bearings when you replaced the pump? If this engine has alot of miles, large bearing clearances will cause low oil pressure.
