There's a sending unit somewhere on your engine. Typical location for a V8 is the top rear of the block, near the distributor and just rearward of the intake manifold where it seals to the block.

If its an L03, it will be right above your oil filter.

I'm wondering what a 1974 SBC would have an oil pressure switch managing...?
