Do you still have the Pontiac oil filter housing unit installed on the block? If so I would remove it and check the bypass on it. You can always stretch the spring inside it a bit to hold the bypass close. It's held on with a tiny screw to the housing. Put a dab of blue locktite on the screw when installing. Check the disk and sometimes the metal tab is bent out allowing oil to bypass.
