pretty sure is somewhere near the oil filter on the LO3 cars.

On my L98 GTA its up behind the distributor. But thats a 89 TPI motor. Im almost positive for TBI cars that its on the drivers side of the block, down low, above the oil filter somewhere. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't have a LO3 to go look at anymore.

Sounds good to me! I'll try there first. I have been looking down from under the hood, guess I'll jack the beer can squasher up and climb under it. Thanks man!

Yup! I jacked it up and there it was next to the oil filter. Took longer to jack it up, get the tools, jack stand, and creeper than it did to change the switch! Thanks for the info. :hail:
