I will leave it as is until the April rebuild.

Again - thanks to all who offered advice.

Last week I got a new sending unit and a mechanical oil pressure gage. Space is extremely limited in the engine bay of a FE Cougar. I took the powersteering pump off which allowed me to get a wrench on the sending unit when reaching up from underneath. The sending unit would not budge for anything and to apply serious force I would have to take off the A/C pump and other surrounding parts + the radiator, so I decided that the current unit would have to last the next 2.5 month.
This thread, so far...
