Yeah like DD said hook up a external pressure guage, standard light only registers about 5psi below anyway, enough so you know you've basically destroyed your motor, you want about 20psi at idle and about 10psi for every 1k revs after that.
Might need to prime the pump, I know aiden on here had that issue and had to fill the pump with vasoline first to allow it to start pumping. You should have oil pressure before the engine fires, pull the coil wire and crank it over.

Use an external oil pressure gauge to double-check. Maybe something wrong with the pressure sensor.

There is probably another gallery plug missing somewhere. Perhaps inside the engine, it just runs down into the pan.
