The oil pressure sender on my '84 3.2 is right there by the fan belt and flying debris could have easily knocked the connector off, or taken out the wire - and Yes, if that circuit is open, it will "peg" your oil pressure (infinite resistance) to the top of the gauge (5+ bar)
If this is legit (and his "knowledge" seems inconstent to me), I would also fear the worst. I hope for his sake this is a bogus post, if not, you have my empathy.
I also use the Passport 8500 in Voltage mode. It started alerting me when my voltage regulator was failing (overcharge) - it sounds for abnormally high OR low voltage.
Oh, and all US spec cars from that era also carry the "Druck Press" labels on the oil pressure gauge - sort of a dual language labeling, I believe.
My level of fan belt paranoia just raised a notch.
