Autometer Oil Pressure and Temp sending unit question?

Well....This is my problem. I put the sending units into the adaptor plate under the oil filter and now I dont know which is which. One is larger than the other but I don't know which one is temp or pressure. If anyone has any clues please let me know. These are the Autometer Ultra-Lites if that helps.

Thanks

LOL. Put an ohmmeter onto one of the connectors then start the car. If the resistance suddenly changes, then it is the pressure sensor. If the resistance gradually goes up or down as the car warms up, then it is the temp sensor.
