I have a 1965 GTO with the original 389 engine that is running fine. I have owned this car for many years and can't recall the number of times that I jacked it up in the garage with no incidents. Went to lower the car down off my jack stands, and for some unknown reason, while lower the front, the floor jack under the front cross member slipped and the oil pan landed on the jack lifting pad. The oil pan is is now deflected up approximately 1/2 inch. The car only has the original idiot lights, a local knowledgeable 'engine' fellow that I know suggested attaching a remote oil pressure gauge and slowly start up the engine to see if there is oil pressure. The permanent fix would be to pull the engine and straighten out the pan, but time does not allow me to start this at present. Looking for opinions as to if the engine still has oil pressure, would it be wise to drive the car as is? Also what pressure would be typical for a high mileage 389 with OE oil pump. I might add the car is in a warm climate therefore cold high viscosity oil would not be an issue.
