I'm not sure where the sender will be on that engine but I'd expect it on the lower part of the block, probably handy the oil filter. Just look for a wire. take the sender out and install the gauge. If you want to check both, install a 'T' and put both the sender and the gauge on. That said... I think you found the problem with the coked oil. Likely a chunk of that is stuck in the pickup and it's restricting flow. When the oil thins out it's able to flow sufficiently (somewhat) through the obstruction. To that end, the Lucas is not helping you because it's a high vis additive... Higher viscosity, less flow. Less pressure. If the problem was worn bearings then the high viscosity would help.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
