Fixed it! It was the pick-up tube gasket!

Thanks for the advise. It was the pickup tube gasket had been overlooked and it was sucking air and giving me low pressure. I accessed the oil pump by removing the timing cover and droping the pan. I still couldn't get the pan out because of my galaxie but I could have if I unbolted the motor mounts and raised it a few inches. But I had enough room to work on the pump. A full day of work but problem solved!
