Oil Presure senser location
Hi Guys
In the pic I have a Number 1 and 2 #1 is the electronic oil presure senser. Question is.. Is it in the right location for my motor. I taged it but my instructions were a little vague and 12 months later I don't remember
The #2 is my second question. I have an unaccounted for threaded hole in the intake that I cant figure out what goes there. I am further along with the assembly then in the pic and ready to put motor in but I dont. know what goes in this hole. I dont have a better picture than this at this time but if I need to I can get one. I asked a friend..non third gen and he said cap it but I think thats foolish not knowing what goes there. any help?
Thanks in advance.

Lets try this pic again
DUUUUHHHH try this again
Well its not working for some reason my changes to the pic will not come out on transfer but I was able to crop the senser out so you know what i am talking about. The part 2 of thisunknow threaded hole is located on the closest side of the intake (left side) about in the middle but a little towards the back. Sorry I cant help with the location any better. See what you can come up with and thanks

Oil sensor is in right location. On your motor, the cutoff switch and oil pressure sensor both mount to the same fitting where your sensor is, not the one by the oil filter. Can you take another picture and point with a pen or something to the mystery port on the intake?

Ok I found a little better pic and i think I figured out howe to draw on it. I have and arrow pointing to the threaded hole. It is covered with silver tape in pic but its where i have pointed
Ok it didnt work man I suck... if you look on the right side of intake (looking at it ) it is about 5 inches from the black bracket in the the pictiure. hope it helps but I will get a pic tomorrow anyways.

The oil pressure sensor is in the right place at the rear of the engine. It is the canister on the brass 90* pipe.

You all have answered the oil gauge sensor location now I need the mystery threaded hole in the intake questioned answered. I have a new pic of the hole and I am pointing to it. I am hoping that some one can tell me what goes in there or have a pic of the area inwhich i can figure it out with. Thanks again

That is a bolthole for a bracket that you have not put on yet/may not need. Blind hole, not overly important. (May be for A/C bracket.)
