New oil pressure sender faulty?

Which brings me to my next question. WHY do you have an old car and are working on it and you have no compressor "OF SOME SORT"? That should be as important as bringing your balls to the party. Entry level portable compressors are cheap. There's no excuse for not having one.

I really appreciate all your help, but living in an apartment with a garage below where NO workshop activities are allowed puts a lot of limitations to my possibilities.
