Is there a way to test the oil pressure gauge?

I'd like to try pulling the needle out and see if I can reset it 180 degrees...not sure if that is possible.........

The Oil Pressure gauge comes attached to the Volt Meter that's why I am trying to get this to work.

The wire may have a short in it coming off the sensor

I have an electric gauge that pegs "max" when the ground comes loose

Call off the hounds.............I found a section on the circuit board that was compromised and when I traced the line it
was one to the oil pressure gauge. I peeled back the plastic covering to expose the 2 copper wires, soldered a small
section and VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gauge works............................thank you Lord...............

Thanks to all...........sorry I didn't think of the circuit board earlier but it seemed fine. It wasn't until I truly looked
and followed the path that I found the break.......................

Great, now it's stuck on 40

maybe the sending unit is for an idiot light

Here's the fix for the oil pressure gauge .opened plastic covering and soldered a connection between the two broken wires

Here's the fix for the inaccurate tach issue.......soldered a wire between center contact and bottom contact noted 8 for the
V8.......don't solder to the other unless you have a V6
