Did you just change the oil pump seals? Install your oil pan? You may need a lot of air to bleed.

Does anyone know how to check oil pressure in these cars?

You don't have to take the intake off to get to the sender. You should be able to get to it from underneath. I think it's a 24mm deep well to take it out.

First photo the sender is circled, it's right behind the starter. Second one is of the sender close up.
