Looks like it's time for a new sending unit; Make sure you read up on which one guys are using as replacements. There are some that will have you doing this work again very soon if you buy them

i think that everyone who buys a vette should be given the 'oil pressure sending unit' disclaimer.

don't worry about it, just get a new unit. mine went out a year or so ago and i haven't even bothered with it. if my engine seizes up, i'll know there is a problem.
