I was able to remove the timing cover and found that the timing gear oiling nozzle was in place and functioning properly.
So I believe that the low oil pressure culprit was an "Earls" oil cooler adapter sandwich plate I had installed between the oil filter and engine block that had an oil temperature sending unit installed in it. I now removed this, changed oil and filter ands now at start up I get oil pressure readings of 60psi. After driving over a half hour with everything warmed up oil pressure is 25psi, at idle at a stop sign around 10psi and no oil "idiot"light comes on. After a 60mile round trip yesterday all seem normal, and I hope everything stays that way. I had this oil cooler adapter sandwich plate with the temp sender installed on my B18 for over a decade with no problem. Thanks for all the responses.
