Get yourself a oil pressure gauge and hook it up in place of the stock pressure sending unit. It's a gold can on the driver's side of the distributor.
Start the car and see what it reads. If you're reading around 30-40psi, you're fine and the sending unit needs to be replaced. If you're reading really low, you might have to replace the oil pump.
