THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

I bought an oil pressure sensor from harbor freight. Got it on there and at idle it’s 50 PSI.

OK so not the engine. Then I swapped out the sensor with a known good one from the old block.

No light and the thing works great now.

Great news but...
50 psi at idle? That's not right. Are you sure?

@Ocho that 50 psi right after start at idle or after getting to temp. If at startup that is good but you need the second number after you warm up. I get 50 at start 660 rpm and about 18-14 at 180F, running up to 2000 rpm gets me to the mid 40's
