****Need help! Oil pressure light flickering on**** 200

So I have an '85 240 wagon and I just jacked up the car and lowered the transmission a little to put the OD wires back on the trans (they fell off) and put everything back together and started the car and the oil pressure light flickers on a little. It only stays on for a millisecond and then turns off, but it does this over and over really fast. It flickers less when you rev up the engine but it sill does it a little (don't worry I didn't rev it up past 2k rpms and I made sure that it wasn't hurting the engine). I thought maybe since the back of the engine was lower than the front, the oil moved back to the back of the pan and the oil pickup wasn't getting enough oil but I've waited for about 5 minutes and I just started it again and it still does it. Why would it all of the sudden do this? Should I give it more time and restart it to see if it fixes itself? Thanks.
