[T3] Flickering Oil Light

[J. Jonik]

(Ooops. Sent to wrong address earlier.)

I just did an Engine Transplant from 73 Standard Sqbk to 71 same model. 
 I used most of the engine components, including muffler and heater 
boxes, distributor,  throttle switch, injectors, etc from the removed 
engine...which had bad end play (and bad rattle) in the crank. Thrust 
bearing on the way out.

 The "new" engine feels great...like a new
 car..BUT...after fifteen or 20 minutes of city driving, the oil light 
flickers.  Weather not hot.    Idle SEEMS just right, but I have no 
tester to be sure.

So...question is...could it be that the oil 
cooler may be a tad sluggish after sitting in the yard, in the 73 car, 
for about 8 or ten years?   If so, would that cause oil light flicker?  
Or, what else might be suspect?
