1938 Oil Pressure Gauge connection?

So where do you attach the oil pressure gauge? I assume it is near the oil pump along the rail with the four small npt plugs in it?

I have yet to start the motor but have cranked it over with a new gauge attached and am getting no oil pressure, in fact not seeing any oil at all in the line.

any help would be appreciated.

Got it sorted. Needed to add oil to the oil pump in order to prime it. Showed 25 -30 psi when cranking.

More importantly, after a 12 hour day of fooling around, I got her started.

Here is the vid. Ignore my butt as my wife decided I should be the center of attention instead of the motor. Shot with a blackberry so sound is rough. Also this is with an open header so it is loud and obnoxious.
