Trying,
In order to tap into the oil pressure passage on the 302, look for the oil pressure switch screwed into the block near the oil filter. You remove the switch and screw in the fitting for the guage, or install a "t" fitting so that both the guage and the light will work. Every moving part inside that engine needs the oil pump to function, so adequate pressure is critical. The fact that it still runs probably means that you can get by with repairing/replacing the crankshaft and bearings. Be sure to have a good look at the cam lobes and lifters while you're in there. By the way, how was the oil pickup tube messed up? That engine was known for pieces of valve seals breaking off and plugging the oil screen. You may need to check your valve seals, too.
As far as your tractor goes, it should already have a guage installed, but if not, just find the oil filter, and a port should should be pretty close by for you to tap in to it. Good Luck and God Bless,
Tommy
