Big Red Idiot Light flickering.

My oil light is coming on at low RPMs and idle. Car is a 73 with a 3.0 L. At idle Oil Pressure guage says abour 20 at higher RPMs goes up to 60. I am noticing more of an oil leak than the usual. Otherwise everything sounds and feels pretty good? Any ideas? Do I have the beginnings of a problem?

I have not been able to do any track or AX in 6 months. I'm starting to catch myself speeding and driving like a hooligan on the street.

Your guage readings are normal. Your pressure switch for the idiot light may be failing. I'd try a new pressure switch.

Andy,
Thanks. That would be a relief. I'll try that. I just hate seeing the thing go RED!
