Default Low oil pressure in my 292

I am pulling this motor out this winter. I never had a complaint with this motor until I installed an oil pressure gauge. Ignorance is bliss, right.
Anyways, on a cold start it reads 50 and after several minutes of driving it is at 25, but with extended driving it gets as low as 8 while idling. The previous owner put in a new oil pump, valve seals, new connecting rods and bearings, new main bearing and new water pump, but that was 13 years ago. I did foolishly put in a synthetic oil last change instead of something heavier. What would you guys suggest to fix this problem? Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, John
