Default best place for oil pressure sending unit?

I have an auto meter oil pressure gauge, but I am not sure where I should put the sending unit. Does anyone have one installed.

I think the easiest place for you to do it is where the oil sending unit connects to the block.

If you ever plan on going turbo or doing LS/VTEC, might as well get one of these:

yea what you do is take out the factory oil pressure sender, its right next to the oil filter and has like a rubber plug over it , takwe that off, its a 15/16 deepwell socket, and in place you need an autometer atm-2269 which is the 1/8 bspt to 1/8 npt fitting for the sending unit to go into the bakc of the block .

hope that helps

The problem with putting the unit on the block itself is that its heavy. I've numerous sending units break off because of vibration and jerking of the motor. I would do the the endyn article and run a line from the block to the firewall instead of straight off the block. This doesn't put as much tension on the threads and is
