Loss of Oil Pressure on R. Turns. Attn SWEDECAR, others

As an update to my post earlier today, I hooked up an oil pressure test gauge and I do indeed lose oil pressure during moderately hard right –hand turns.
Oil pressure is great otherwise: 25-30psi at hot idle, 50psi by 2k rpm and 60-65psi past 3k rpms. However, I can get the pressure to drop to zero on right turns, regardless of the rpm. I’m not an F1 driver here folks; while my mother might rarely turn this hard, I think most of us would frequently hit these sustained forces in normal driving. The oil level is correct and I’m using quality 10W-40.
In my years of reading Saabnet, I have never heard of this problem. My only thought is that a baffle in the oil sump some how came loose. With my limited understanding of the pump, I don’t see how it could be causing only this specific problem.
Any help here is greatly appreciated!
