You have a 1988 fullsize bronco and it says your oil pressure is low but it is getting oil to the top end so what could it be and how can you fix it?

First, check the gauge. Should have a single wire on the driver side of the engine, near the oil filter, connected to the oil pressure switch. (Assuming it is an electronic gauge) Unplug it from the switch and clean off all the oil and dirt. Ground the gauge by touching the end of the wire you unplugged to a metal surface on the truck. Check the gauge. It should move substantially to the right while grounded. If it does not, your gauge is bad. If it does, plug it back on and see if it works now that it is clean. If it does not, first try replacing the oil pressure switch. It's only a few bucks. Still low, try a mechanical gauge to get an accurate oil pressure reading. If the pressure is actually low, it means major engine work ahead.

What is the difference between the Ford bronco and a Ford bronco ii?
Size. The Bronco is a full sized vehicle. The Bronco II is the miniature compacted version. The full size broncos came with larger v8 engines and the Bronco II was designed during the first gas panic as a Fuel saver. While they only get 22mpg, on the highway it was almost double what the full size broncos got in mileage, except for the 4.9 I6, which could get 20mpg in the fullsize. In addition, the bronco ii was based off of the ford ranger, while the ford bronco was based off of the ford f150.

How could you show an inflated balloon to show the decreasing the volume of a fixed mass of air increases its pressure?
You could do this by applying pressure to the balloon, you'll notice that as it get's smaller from getting squeezed it becomes harder to compress, because of the higher pressure.
