oil pressue gauge/missing also

I have had this problem on and off.Usually during the warmer weather and stop and go traffic my oil pressure drops and gauge bounces around a bit and then when I take off it goes back up and stays steady.I have had this simialr problem with my battery gauge when runnning my lights and heater on.Any ideas.Driving it today, it ran fine comeing home from work,got in to get the boy at school an hour later and it started to miss.Worse at idle and lower speeds and when going up hills.Wonder if a bad plug wire?

first check your oil level. I had a company chevy that would do that when the oil got low.

Plug wire or coil wire would be my guess.
