Install oil pressure sender

Hi all.

Now that i have the right oil pressure sender , how do you get it installed past the distributor?

Should it have an adapter so its at 90 degrees or something?

Cheers.

Mine is def up near the distributor. But does anyone know the type of adapter, size, thread etc, that the engine block takes?

Ebsy is looking my best bet because the stores here in Oz don't seem to keep any.

If you are using the hole under dist then thread is 1/8" NPT

Any parts shop should have a range of brass fitting in 1`/8" NPT
