anyone have an idea?

My oil pressure gauge on the stock cluster is un-connected (i believe) when i turn the car on the needle goes all the way up to the top, saying i have over 150 psi of oil psi; Which i know i don't. I'm sure i just disconnected something installing the clutch, anyone know how i can fix this problem? My buzzer goes off like crazy when i'm driving.

Yup... there is a little black box at the top of the bell housing. It is responsible for regulating surges to the gauge or something like that. Probably left it unhooked. It uses a bellhousing bolt or nut, and is about 10x12mm.

That wouldn't have caused this anyway.
Lots of 7's are running around with the condenser missing and their gauges read normally.

13BT probably has a dead short in the wiring between the gauge and the sending unit.

I disagree. I remember reading of a few cases where their have been gauge related issues similar to the op problem and this corrected it.

Mine broke when i put in my last clutch and i was advised to fix it for this reason.
