Turns out it's the oil pressure sending unit.  HOWEVER, since the car has an aftermarket oil pressure gauge (a "Cobalt" by Autometer), I'll have to find someplace that sells the appropriate sending unit.  Plus the power steering pump sprang a leak too, and now goes through a reservoir full of fluid in about 30 miles or less.

If it is an electrical gauge, then you can get one thru Autometer.  Someone like Summit may list it without going directly to Autometer.  sounds like a new pump is in your future.  Old cars, still cheaper than newer ones

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
