does your gas gauge work correctly?

OK Fellas: How about this  one:
For our just breaking-in 426 Street Wedge, we hooked up an oil  pressure 
gauge along with the standard dash warning light.
The gauge  indicates good pressure, 40-50 PSI, and the motor hasn't seized 
(yet) so we're  convinced we have adequate engine oilling.
Meanwhile, the idiot light stays  on all the time...does not diminish and 
go out as oil pressure increases.
I  think I have tried everything using a test light, changing sending 
units,  isolating and/or re-doing the gauge wire, isolating the circuit  board,
trying different bulb/socket assemblies, removing our "T" fitting  for the 
gauge and screwing the sender straight in to the block as original,  and on
and on.
Too late if my oil pressure gauge is "lying".
We're  stumped...any suggestions???
Thanks, Donny, 64 Belvedere
