Did it just change functioning, or did something else change too?
(Like you installed a new sender.)

Sounds like you have the wrong sending unit. They are externally
identical, but internally quite different. The one for an idiot light is an on/off
switch. That's why it sends your gauge from zero to pegged. The one for
a gauge is linear in its output.
Trot on down to your local parts store and you'll find what you need for
about twelve bucks. Just tell 'em it's for a '72 Mustang with an oil
pressure GAUGE and not a light. :>)
