Chiphead,
The oil pressure was fine and read what it always reads. At the time we started the car, it was cold and as you can see, we didn't run the car for a long time so it makes sense what you're saying about the lack of oil flow. Hopefully we'll take another look at the adjustment today.
TedRamAirll,
We'll slow down the idle and give that a shot. Now that you mentioned that, I remembered something else. After we checked the rocker adjustment, added a gasket to that valve cover (It "looked" like there was a witness mark on the valve cover), we put the valve cover and started the car. The car was cold so it was on high idle (electric choke carb) but we didn't hear the ticking noise. When we brought the idle down, the ticking noise was there again. I don't know if that means anything. I'm not sure if we couldn't hear it the ticking because of the noise of the engine..
