How to Check Oil Pressure Without Gauge?

[bordin34]

Is there a way to check oil pressure without a gauge? I think my 318 has no oil pressure but i dont think the gauge works or its right and I have very little fuel and oil pressure. Can I pull the valve cover off to check anything? The engine is a 318 in a 74 Charger.
Thnaks.

If the lifters are quiet then you have some oil pressure, but I'd get a hold of a screw in gauge just to be sure.

I think I can hear them. How loud is it. So there is no way to check it wthout a gauge?

i wouldn't run it anymore until you get a gauge on there.
just to be safe.
