Its located about 2 inches above your oil filter.

k now where do i go from there?

you need to install a "T" so you can run your gague, and the stock sending unit.

You need a 1/8" BSPT to 1/8" NPT fitting to connect to the block after you remove your stock sending unit, then another 1/8" NPT fitting to connect to that. Be careful about placing a T right off the back of the block, people have had problems with their blocks being damaged.

Do a search for "oil pressure sending unit" or "oil pressure gauge". Somewhere there is a good write-up of how to do this.

OR...you can just use the oil passage that's closed with a hex-key stopper under your dizzy. There's one for coolant and one for oil - I used that passage for my Autometer oil pressure gauge and it's been working fine for almost a year now.

i nets been down, ok now i found the thing but how the heck would i be able to unscrew it, because there is no room i swear i done broke something trying to get my hand to it.. what size is it also, plus i have a stewart warning gauge and it has a sending unit and all, my friend told me i would just unscrew the oil pressure thing then screw my sending unit in where it was?

n0pinitr0us

im ready to get this thing in, i only have 45 mins of sunlight left

I ran a stainless line from where the stock sender was to a T on the firewall, then plugged the sender into that...

That way I don't have to worry about vibrations hurting anything...



I'm interested in seeing some pictures of the sender near the dizzy... sounds like an easier install than this...

It's big, but smaller than 1", I can't remember how big it is... go out there and find the wrench that fits, then you will know
