Ok I took my car to another shop today to get another diag. on my oil leaks. They told me that it is 1) my rear intake gasket 2) oil sneding unit and 3) oil preasure switch.
My question is, I have done a search on oil sending unit and some say these car have them and others say they dont. I have changed the one under that car right by the oil filter but I guess when I installed it I didnt seat it very well, thats easy to change. Now what about the oil sending unit, where is it? and how difficult is that to change. Last I guess Im going to attempt the intake gasket myself, boy I sure hope I dont screw it up. While I have everything off Im going to go ahead and put in a AFPR ,and probably buy one of those already ported Plenums from TPIS. Clean my runners and intake up and install some Chevy Bowtie Rocker Covers. also should I go ahead and change every gaasket that comes with the kit

there is a sender above the oil filter and another near the distributor. both are 1/8 pipe threads, use some sort of sealer on them,i like teflon, and tighten them up.

 

The sender for the gauge is o nthe back of the intake, damn near under the distributor. It is a pain to get at without removign the distributor. I would try to seal it, then do the intake.
