If you didn't mess with that, I don't really see a reason why you wouldn't have oil pressure. Is your sending unit broken or not connected?

It's behind the intake manifold, it stands straight up.

You should be able to reach back there to see if its unplugged, but it would be hard to tell if it is broken though unless its hanging there.
