I think the oil pressure sending unit screws into the block at the rear, just next to the distributor. You might try that first. HTH, Lee

Unless you hear the engine clattering like mad at idle your oil pressure is fine - all you need is a new sender, a very typical issue.

Unless you're just dying to test out your oil pressure meter :)
