Question got a gremlin in my car help

This is probally the most disturbing thing that can happen. The oil pressure guage is not reading. I can't figure out which wire or sensor it is. Question one Where is the oil sensor and which color is it on the harness? Question two How can i test to see if the wireing is good or is the sensor is good? Thanks I just got the beast back up and this is the only problem so i am pretty impresssed.

oil sending unit is below where the oil filter is on the engine. Screws in the side. If you disconnect the wire from it your gauge should max out with the key on. If it does the gauge is good and sending unit is shot. If it doesn't max out the gauge is bad.
