Oil Pressure dropping when stopping? Is this normal or is something wrong with my car. The oil pressure drops down to the red when stopping hard. It goes right back up to normal after about a second or two. Does anyone else's LT1 do this?
Not typical if it causing the low oil light to come on, or hitting near zero.
If you have those symptoms, your oil pickup has come loose and fallen off.
If so, fix it before you sludge up your engine.

My '68 El Camino does this when it's done consumed
the first quart or so, it doesn't like the slosh and the
pump goes dry. The pan is all banged in and I expect
the pickup is out of position but I'm not about to chase
it on a $300 beater.
I had a Fiat convertible that did this too, only that was
after I let this redneck bitch borrow it and run it over
something tall and yellow. Found the pickup cracked
clean off on that one, Fiat used a one-piece cast oil
pump & pickup assembly. In retrospect it was probably
better to have whooped that motor, than to have gotten
hooked up with said skank (would've cost me more
than the new oil pump and a rebuild kit did, I'm sure).
