Default H2b dieing after fully warmed up---HELP pLZ

the motor is being weird, when i start it up its fine until its fully warmed up. when it is fully warmed up my oil light flickers & motor dies if i dont give it gas.
i do have some what a leaking head gasket but its not that bad. and good oil level too.
=====and its a new oil pump too, maybe the sending unit ?
i jus finaly finished the swap and this is what its doing

TODAY 9-10-2010
(IVE ONLY PUT 10 MILES TEST DRIVING THE CAR FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS)
SOUNDS LIKE ITS KNOCKING........WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE ITS KNOCK NOW BUT IT DIDNT THE FIRST 10 MILES?????? IVE NEVER FLOORED IT CAUSE I WANTED IT TO BREAK IN....CAN THAT NOISE BE SOMETHING ELSE????????
any ideas>?
thanks in advanced

well the first thing id do is hook up a mechanical oil gauge to see what the actual oil psi is at, you don't want to be running that motor on low oil pressure(might just be a bad sender though), have you tried adjusting the idle screw?

One thing at a time, confirm that you have oil pressure
