when i bought my 1990 T4R 3.0 auto the oil pressure went to not very much to not at all whats going on with it ??? no oil pressure at all times

no oil pressure is a serous problem. if your losing oil it could be a cracked block or head. if your not losing any oil it could be bad rings, scratched cylinder walls....many things, i wouldnt even run the engine until fixed

my buddy said the guage probly went bad or the hose for the oil pressure guage could be cloged with shavings??

Check your oil and have it looked at... if it's a bad gauge, it's no big deal, if there is really no oil pressure you've got big problems.

when i changed the oil and it was like a bad sludge smelt burnt there is like 253,000 on it but i think it was towed behind a rv or was just a family rig not sure but yea i thought i was hearin a ticking noise when it was cold....when i start it up cold and try to rev it ...it like misses or pops and blck smoke comes out but only when cold

That sounds pretty bad, I would have it checked out at a shop.
