Oil gauge

My oil gauge is totally broken. It doesnt even move at all. Its at the position where it would be when the car is off. At the bottom of the gauge. What is wrong with my oil gauge? (Not my oil pressure gauge.) Is there any way where I could test if it works or where the sending unit is? Thanks.

The sending unit should be on the drivers side (to the right) of the dist. near the firewall. It's a cylinder shaped thing about an inch long, that should have a wire plugged into it. Make sure its hooked up. You might have to dig around to find it.

I dont believe the question was aimed at me, but I was talking about the oil pressure gauge.
