Well the problem is solved. It wasn't the oil pressure at all. Seems that the distributor cap was arcing through to the clip on an intermittant basis. This was being picked up by the oil pressure wire and was being radiated into the driver chip in the instrument cluster and causing the LED to flash. For those of you with the flashing LED and you have not been able to find the problem, you might check out your ignition wires, the sense wire routing and the distributor cap. Could be you are picking up a signal that is being injected on the sense wire.
