Well, this may be a waste of time, but try changing the oil pressure sender on
the engine block, I had the same problem with my '73 MkIV 1300 just after I got
it, I had to rev the engine like hell to get the oil pressure light to go
out(I kow, not the best idea if it had low oil pressure :-)). Whilst doing this
the engine didn't knock so I guessed it was just the sender, replaced it and
never had any problem's since!!!
