Yes.
1. Take off the oil sending unit. Attach it to a pipe coupler of appropriate
thread.
2. Attach a air nipple to the other end.
3. Attach your air hose ( assuming you have an air supply
4. SLOWLY increase your air pressure so you have no more than lest say 1/2 the
rated pressure for the gauge.
5. Ground out your oil sending unit.
6. Attach your electric cable to the oil pressure sending unit and turn on your
ignition.
7. Do not start the engine.
8. You should have needle deflection if the sending unit is ok. Since you know
you have pressure from your air supply and know what it should be.. it is
also a quasi way to "calibrate" your oil pressure gauge.
Hope this helps.
