Some have a sending unit for the oil press gauge and a 'pressure switch' for the low oil press warning light. Low warm idle oil pressure is fairly common on HIGH mileage 3.2's. Like Ryan says, your screen on the oil pump pickup screen is either plugged with debris, or the screen has sucked itself up against the p/up tube (fairly common on this engine). With that small amount of screen to work with, It plugs easily. You will need to pull the small lower stamped steel oil pan to inpect the screen. Not too bad of a job.
G/luck!
