Oil Pressure and Water Temperature

I figured this would be an okay place to post this question since it has to do with the health of the engine:

Anyway, is there a way to test these gauges before hooking them up to the sensors on the engine? Same question for the sensors?

I have some stock Galaxie gauges in the dashboard I have but am not sure if they work or not. I'd hate to hook them up just to find out that they don't work and that my motor is overheating and I'm getting no oil pressure.

Thanks,
Keith

you should be able to ohm it out and check them both i am not sure what the ohms are on them.you may beable to call ford and see what the ohm reading should be.
