Subject:Oil pressure light- '88 GL

Driving down the road the oil pressure light came on , the buzzer sounded
and I near had a heart attack! Didn't last but seconds, but scare the heck
out of me. Did this numerous times, though not consistantly, and only
around 2000 rpm. I just finished that onerous water pump swap along with
hoses all around, added new coolant and bled the system, reinstalled the
oil cooler with a new seal, put on a new Mann oil filter, added 4-1/2
quarts of 20-50wt oil. Now this! Any suggestions? Engine has 150,000 since
major overhaul and is running strong. Don't have an oil pressure nor oil
temp guage on this one. Cleaned the rearmost connection for oil pressue
thoroughly down to bright copper  before reconnecting it.

Open to suggestions on this one.

John
