pic and problem

Hey all,
Haven't been on here in years, but always good to know acurazine is here when you need it!
So - here's the deal:
I just did the first sea foam on her in about 3 years and everything went fine. it was a rough start, but finally got her going and smoked out the neighbourhood. drove her hard for a few minutes until the smoke cleared and then resumed normal driving conditions.
after about 10 minutes of driving my eye caught the oil light barely flickering at idle. the car is idling perfectly and when i slightly bring the idle up, the light clears. the oil light is never fully on and is never flashing - it is just flickering at idle, almost like it's shorting out...
any thoughts out there?
oh yeah for those that may be interested, here's a pic of her - not too much has changed in the past few years

Make you have enough oil. It may be oil pressure sensor acting up.
Id reset the ecu. Yank your negative on the battery and reconnect 5 min later.

thanks fella's,
I reset the ecu this morning and took her to get an engine flush and oil change. runs beautifully and no lights - so I'll keep an eye on her for the next week or so and hopefully all is good

LOL @ 2 car seats. I haven't had mine running in a couple years and I've had offers to buy it and still couldn't let it go! Glad to see you're still around, and that you seem to have resolved the issue
