Default HELP no oil pressure gauge

I have a 84 cross fire with a bad wire somewhere for the oil pressure gauge and I am trying to decide to fix or rebuild but no way to check the oil pressure. Anyone know how to check oil pressure without using the dash gauges? The car has a good sending unit just a bad wire somewhere.

Install a mechanical OP gauge into any one of the oil gallery ports

The 84's still have an oil gallery plug just below the front of the intake manifold that is easy to plumb an oil pressure line for a mechanical gauge. I have a mech. gauge installed using that gallery.
