Stephen,
While I don't have info on the "early" (1964  and  earlier) Corvairs, ALL 
later models (1965-69) have an oil  pressure switch that  turns on a red 
light 
on the dash to warn of low  or NO oil pressure.  It's  hard for me to believe 
that ANY car  in the past 50+ hears does NOT have  this kind of switch 
installed 
to  warn the driver of lack of oil pressure so  he can shut down the engine  
before it is destroyed.
Check your wiring diagram.   What year is your  car?

That oil pressure switch is set for so low a pressure (to avoid frightening  
the driver in normal driving situations) that when it does come on, you've  
messed up your engine by the time you can turn off the ignition switch. That's  
why drivers who actually want to know what's going on install a pressure  
gauge.
