James,

First check the wiring to the oil pressure switch (the low pressure one) to
make certain that the conductor to it is not pinched by the engine tin or
chaffed or going to ground intermittently anywhere along its run.  If that seems
kosher, pull the pressure switch and plug in a mechanical pressure gauge to see
with what you are dealing.  If the oil pressure seems kosher, verify the
setpoint of the pressure switch.  Only after some investigation can you make an
informed decision about what to do.

Once an engine is up to operating temperature, I do not think the weight of
the oil effects oil pressure as much as some people believe.  On startup
whenever it is cold enough to freeze a witch's tit it is all together a different
matter.
