My car's poor running condition...

Hey I believe I forgot to mention the main part of my 79 Tbird TL's problem! It will probebly get a whole new motor, unless my problem is an easy fix. When it is started, it will run fine for around 5-10 mintes, but after that it gets bad. That is when the oil light will come on and flicker, and going up hills? Forget about it! We can go back, and start the car an hour later, and it will run fine. Of course when we restarted it, it was only to limp the poor thing home! I am sure that it would do the same thing again. Just thought I should let you all in on whats going on. We will have a very qualified mechanic who is a friend of ours to look it over asap. Thanks,

Jim

P.S. Thanks to Paul for all the help he has been providing on this same issue!
