FWIW. . .
The oil pressure sender "tap" is (on almost every engine I've seen
including the TR variety) directly in the oil galleries to the main
bearings just after the pressure relief valve AND any filtering (spin
on/cannister type).  It's a pretty accurate measurement of oil bearing
pressure at the mains and the camshaft journals.
