Yep. Eliminate the sender unit as a cuplrit. And DON'T drive the car until
you know for sure.

Questions:
How many miles on this car?
What was the frequency of oil changes?
Has the engine been rebuilt, or has the oil pan been removed at any time?
If the oil pickup screen tube gasket is missing or damaged, you'll suck air
with the oil.
If the oil pump was replaced, that suggests the oil was infrequntly
changed. These pumps last nearly forever with timely oil changes.
If the new pump was installed incorrectly, oil will squeeze past the O-
rings, leading to a drop in oil pressure. If the "new" pump was poorly
rebuilt, you'll get the same low pressure. Is this "new" pump from
AutoZone, by any chance?

Duh.
If the oil pump has been replaced, then the oil pan's been off. Ignore that
question.
