Default Can a French oil pump help a worn out flatty?

The old 59A in the 32 was still suffering with low oil pressure at idle. I checked the cam and bearings and there was no opportunity for improvement there. I measured the bearings and concluded that the problem was excessive clearances. While looking at oil pumps I realised that one oil pump I had would provide increased volume. Could this be the answer? Who knows? It's worth a try!
