As always, thanks for all the help.

Because existing oil pressure senders are just switches, but manometer, for logical reasons, needs analog signal, so sender for it provides resistance that varies according to applied pressure, and to avoid need to drill a new hole in block or have one spare with plug in it, that sender provides both needed functions.
Pressure gauge, when not connected, goes up until max like yours does, and temp gauge doesn't moves. The same result for pressure gauge can be achieved if it's connected to incorrect pin on sender.
