Any autoparts store should have one. It's located next to your oil filter.

Check the connector, zero can indicate it fell off.

A couple of things, do the lifters make any noise? If your oil pressure
really is low they should be making a racket.

A quick and really dirty test might be to remove the oil filter,
disconnect the coil, and then crank the engine. If you get a really big
mess than it's pumping oil, if there is no mess than you have a real
problem.

A mechanical gage is really the best solution!
