Can't seem to catch a break
Update....
First, I want to thank you all for your replies, seriously. Now on to the update...
I finally got to pull the pan and pump and found out why I had no oil pressure...
The intermediate shaft had sheared off in the pump because the pump has seized. The pump seized because a piece of steel wire go into it and jammed the rotor assembly. Where the steel wire came from I don't know. I'm particularly careful when cleaning the pump, pickup and pan but perhaps I still missed it. Anyways...a couple of pics below. You can see the wire stuck in the rotor in the first pic and the wire and end of the intermediate shaft in the second.
