Struggling to find the right oil pressure balance

Stole this from a fellow members post. I believe it was @HawkRod

Sometimes I don't remember things. Looked under there and then remembered I had to add some washers to get the long bolt to work. Other bolts were fine. I can't get a good measurement on the pump in the car but the one I took off is HV based on the case measurements in that photo. I learned something new in this process!
And the one on the old engine is also HV

And I don't have any washers small enough so I have to go to the hardware store

You can't use hardware store parts on a Mopar!! LOL

Is there an MP part # for the washer shim? =)

You had higher oil pressure before at low speed with the HV pump than you do now with the standard volume pump. This is the reason. Just put the HV pump on.

The HV pump “should” come with the stiffer spring in it.

Disconnect the gauge and drive it. ...

At 10-12psi hot idle, no thank you

This should work. Even with shipping pretty cheap.
