Oil Pressure continued

[Perez Oscar <PerezO@domain.elided>]

First, thank you to all that responded on or off Digest with help.  

Here's an update:  As suggested, I checked the oil pressure gauge by
grounding the wire that connects to the sensor.  As expected it spiked when
grounded.  Now, my actual oil pressure and the sending unit are suspect.
Hoping that it's the new sending unit (praying actually), my next step is to
find an ohm meter and test the sensor by looking for variance in resistance
as the sensor reads variance in pressure.-- Thanks to Tom Sahines for that
tip.

Thanks Carl-- I was misinformed about idle pressure readings.  Yes- I did
replace the correct sensor.  Tonight I'll find out if it's the sensor or oil
pump with the Ohm meter.
