I'm getting ready to embark on my own efi '82 Spirit swap. (4.0L head and 
'91 XJ EFI system). but way back with my '83 Cherokee, I had an oil leak I 
couldn't find (I replaced the rear main seal and it stopped seemingly, then 
started again) turned out my oil pressure sender exploded as I was pulling 
onto the highway and I drove till I heard rattle (no light because the 
sender had shattered)
  My current '90 Ford (460/C6) van's oil pressure suddenly drops after 
picking up RPMs. I replaced the oil filter which seemed to help at first, 
then I got sudden clicking of the rear 2 lifters and zero pressure reading 
(it's at the back of the intake and oil pump is in front) I'm thinking 
either I had another filter implode (damn that previous Fram anyways!) or 
something is in the passage blocking the gallery (motor got quite hot when 
the dist sheer pin let go. The exhaust manifolds were nearly see through!) 
I'm going to try to blow down the oil sender hole (with compressed air, not 
my lips!) with the filter off and see what comes out. If it's Fram filter 
paper, I'm gonna be pissed!
