Johntal is correct, the metal piece in the sump of the oil pan is to keep the pickup covered in hard turns. My 72 TA oil pressure would go to 0 in hard turns, even long exit ramps sometimes, I always let off then.
In '73 Pontiac added the baffle and the problem was fixed. I used a later pan on my GTO which has handling improvements and I haven't seen the oil pressure go away.
