Few things:

This may sound bazzar! But what volts is your alternator putting out? When mine went bad as was putting out 11vlots my dash lights and gauges went nuts?

I'd drain the oil and check it for any shavings?

What filter are you using? for some reason not all brands seem to work the same on the LT1s. So when you change the oil install a GM filter.

Does the oil pick up bolt to the pump? or was it tacked on? Could it be loose?

As already said. Replace the oil sending unit and it's a goof idea to install a mech/ one. Just above the oil filter is a plug you can remove to install a mechanical oil pressure line. Make sure you wrap it of run it so it doesn't melt on the header!

What cam are you running? Some people have damaged the cam/ oil pump drive gears or even the plastic part that holds the pump drive in. Wonder if it can be slipping or damaged?
