    Sorry I haven't updated this post, but the problem is solved. It was Sludge. Pulled the valve covers, every low spot had about a 1/2" of Black Toothpaste. Clean the heads out real good, dropped the oil pan to find the same thing. A nice sludge ring around the pickup screen. Degreased the pan and valve covers and gave them a fresh coat of Buick Red paint. No more oil light, after a lot of driving. :TU:

    Also while I was at it, new starter, PerTronix Electronic Ignition Conversion kit, Flame Thrower Coil & Wireset. New Battery cables too. Running Sweet now! I still have a small rear main seal leak though :(
