Default Oil pressure gauge, 1985

Anyone ever have the oil pressure gaugae peak when you stop? Mine just started doing it, will show normal pressure while in motion but then peak when I come t a stop.

Have a feeling it's directly related to the wiring harness which is loosing its plastic coating at a very fast rate. Now that I need the defroster I find that when I move the select lever through the A/C positions the motor dies (electrical short) and then if I select the defroster the engine dies.

I have noticed that switching to defroster (before this strangeness) the engine speed increases. If I can locate the wiring that causes this I hope I can locate the short causing my current problem.

Any ideas? (Besides dumoing the car on someone else?)
