The oil pressure relief/regulator is integral to the oil pump.
 
Thanks, that takes care of that.
I just bought and econoline pickup and the oil pressure is 0 from about 15 mph to idle and about 7 1/2 lb. at around 50 mph with warn engine. Previous owner put new oil pump in and new SW mechanical oil pressure guage. He was probably trying to improve pressure and failed. I was thinking that the relief valve may have carbon or somethin under it. Guess not. I bought it with intention of rebuilding the engine but thought I might get lucky. Little engine sure runs good and doesn't smoke.
 
Make sure the gauge is correct before ripping apart the engine, I have seem them go bad before.
