The oil light is coming on after motor build but my mechanical gauge says i have oil pressure in the head.

any thoughts?

you need a new stock oil pressure sending unit.

this car is kicking my ass! is there a procedure for testing that?

Not that I know of. But I had the same issue a few weeks ago. Replaced the sensor, no more oil light. It's not terribly hard to get to on a stock manifold if you have small hands.

My sensor had 40,000 or so on it when it died. However, I think I may have bumped it when putting my tubular manifold on.
