I am lost, you were talking about a fuel gauge then asked about an oil gauge.
To test the fuel gauge turn power on take wire off sender and ground it, see if gauge moves....if so its good

To check to see if gauge is working, simply disconnect wire at sending unit (yellow) and ground it with ignition turned to on or acc. If gauge goes over to full mark after a few seconds, the gauge is fine, and the problem is either the sending unit or possibly the fuel tank itself not getting a good ground. If gauge is bad, a 6 volt one from a t-bird should work, just might have to change out rear mounting plate.

Looks like you have gone thru the basic test procedures. But just in case you would like to have another chance to test the gauge itself I have a 2 page scan from my 1955 Ford Car Shop Manual in .pdf format. This gives wiring details and test procedures. It gives a method to test the gauge only. If I have it correct a 3V battery(s) power applied to the 2 terminals should give you 1/2 gauge reading. For some reason I am not allowed to attached a .pdf document to this reply. I wish I knew how to post pdf stuff? Anyways, If I have your email address I would email it to you. - Bob
