Whn I turn the ignition switch to the first stop, the oil light is NOT on. When I start it, the light comes on and remains on. The engine sounds good and the oil level is correct. I replaced the oil sending switch.
Does anyone have any ideas what ther problem could be.
Thanks.
Oil light
I had a similar problem when re-wiring a new turn signal unit and it turned out to be a ground issue. Check to ensure you are connected correctly to the turn signal box and that the light housing is grounded. You can check that by using a jumper from the housing to ground. Also ensure the bulb is inserted correctly in the housing. Good luck!

He's talking about the oil light, not the turn signal light.
When the ignition is turned on, the oil light (the green one on the right) should light, and when the engine is started it should go out. The first thing you need to do is establish electrical power to the oil pressure switch with the ignition on. This can be checked with a simple test light.
