Transmission: sure does
Remove the oil sending unit by the distributor and install a manual gauge.

Doesn't the factory gauge work??

there's a 1/8" square headed pipe plug above the timing cover a little to the right side of the engine. if it's a tbi car it's easy to get to. just use a nipple and gauge to check it with.
