first you need to get a real oil pressure guage. to verify your oil pressure.
there should be a place on the block where the sending unit can be removed and the new guage can be installed.
is the engine making any unusual sounds when the oil light is on?
It could be just a sending unit.
Or it might be bad.

Check it with a mechanical gauge to verify you have a oil presure problem. Or you could just replace the sending unit and see what happens.
