Well, it could mean the oil pressure sender is fouled or going bad.  How many months has it been sitting?

It takes a whole 5 minutes to swap and only requires one wrench.  The sender is on the pass side of the engine next to the distributor.  Looks like a brass fuel filter with one wire on it.

Just becarefull taking the old one off. I busted the brass elbow off on the block. It took quite awhile to get to it. I had to take the Alt. off as well as some other stuff. And the only place that had a replacement was the dealer.
I guess that is what happens when you try and use a adjustable wrech. I now have a sending unit socket that makes the job much easier.
