Awesome, sounds easier and quicker than changing the whole pump. Anything I should watch for or be careful with? Precautions? Any cons of doing this?

On the back of the pump there is a 7/8 inch cap
nut, take it out and the spring is inside there, you can stretch it a bit(but
difficult) shim it or get a stiffer spring and it will increase the
pressure.

How do you go about changing it? Remove the pump or I noticed there's
like a cap on it, might be cheaper and easier just to try.

If the oil pressure is not high enough why not
first of all try a stiffer spring, they are easy to change out and you used
to be able to buy them right from the Chrysler dealer.

I agree unless maybe there is a bad oil pump gasket or the
pickup has some how moved from optimal position.

I agree,, oil pumps do not wear that much, they are constantly
moving in the coolest oil in the engine, I have my doubts that just
replacing an oil pump will make a noticeable difference in the
oil pressure, low oil pressure is usually a result of worn bearing in
the engine allowing the pressure to drop, and not a matter of a worn oil
pump. replacing an oil pump and not attending to the reason
is like adding a bandaid, as well as the fact that the pressure is
within reason anyway, I feel that the money would be better spent
towards a complete rebuild at a latter date,,,
Or, in other words, 10 PSI per 1000 rpm. So if the 383 hot
idle speed is 500, then having a minimum of 5 PSI at hot idle will
keep the motor from seizing. 10-15 is plenty of pressure to keep
the oil going where it should at idle.
