You have a "low oil level" light. That runs out to what looks like a float, on a white/pink wire.

You should have a oil pressure gauge, it runs out on a white/red. Ford has used that color for many years. The coolant gauge uses black/lightblue wire. These wire colors will fade over time, make sure it's not the coolant sensor.
 
Sorry to be so dense but the sensor at back of head I am thinking is coolant temp and I have white/red and the black /green or blue connected below that on the block which I am thinking is oil pressure. The white/red won't reach below the head. When I started it the oil pressure gauge never moved but temp did eventually. Thought I had them crossed but the one is too short to be crossed. Put a new head on this 2.3 for a friend so just trying to get it done. Not familiar with this thing. Thanks for the help.
