I'm thinking it's probably a bad oil pressure sending unit. Could be the gauge is just bad but probably not. Usually the sending unit is something like $20ish if I remember correctly and also requires a special socket for removal which any parts store will carry. Good luck with it man.

also put a mechanical gauge on it, be sure the oil pressure is correct as low or no oil pressure will kill the engine faster than anything.

Good luck,
