Ok - problem solved. First I put a good mechanical oil gauge on the car to test the pressure. I removed the old sender - I had put teflon tape on the threads to help seal it. Bad idea. A bit of teflon was just slightly over the hole in the sender. Stripped the tape off and reinstalled the sender. No more false alarms. Oil pressure at 40 mph is 48 psi, and about 8-10 at an idle. Life is good again.
