Hi Paul:
Do you have a spin-on filter adapter?
If you're still using the old cannister filter did you remember to reinstall
the pressure valve and spring that comprise part of the assembly? If not,
this may have some affect on your oil pressure since the oil will not be
forced through the filter, and just flow around it.
These are just a couple of thoughts since I've experienced this particular
problem. Good luck!
