Are you using the correct sensor? Rated for the gauge and PCM signal? Dual contact?
Or are you using the SE sensor? Have you had a mechanical gauge on there to see what it normally reads?

Test it with a mechanical gauge where the oil sender screws in. If the mechanical gauge reads a lower, normal pressure, the problem is the sender or the dash gauge. If the mechanical gauge matches the dash gauge, (not likely), remove the oil pressure relief piston and spring from the oil filter adapter and check for a stuck closed problem.
