It is very likely one (or both) of your oil pressure sensors are
toast. I have replaced two, and the dealer had several in stock, even
for my '84. The parts guy said they replaced quite a few of them.

A couple of weeks ago (29. Sep.), I posted a description of how to
troubleshoot the sensors. It is in a thread called "Oil Warning Lamp
at 2k rpm's".
