Re: low oil pressure 96 S-10 blazer 4.3L

A loose or worn rod bearing will cause oil pressure to drop. The oiling system supplies the main and rod bearings first, then the camshaft bearings. Whatever is "leftover" after that goes to the lifters and rockers. Check main and rod bearing clearances and repair as necessary.
