Another Oil Pressure Problem

I have been working on vehicles since I was 14 and have never encountered a problem like this! I have a 1969 Lincoln 460 in my 79 F250. When it is cold the pressure seems to be okay, as it starts to warm up the pressure will drop to 0 or close to it, then as it get closer to normal running temp the pressure comes back! Can someone shed some light on this weirdness?

You need to ck that oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to see exactly what it is doin, That electric gauge might not be reading right.

Yes I would check your oil pressure with a good mecanical gage to see if your original is working right. I bet it is the gage.
Good luck
