disc brakes and oil pressure

Strange, my reply didn't show up..
I like the standoff idea for the pickup- along with baffling the front of the pan. Nothing fancy, just get the job done kinda deal.
Never did glance at the gauge during the panic stops, so I don't know what the actual pressure the idiot light comes on at.
Maybe add a crank scraper while I'm in there. I'd do an aftermarket pan, but I hear so much about hitting the K frame on early A's
