89 camaro TPI sensor help quick!

Hey guys,
I am installing a TPI 350 into my jeep cherokee, and need some quick help. i pulled off the (what i think) oil pressure sensor before rebuilding it, now I am not sure where it goes. I thought it whent in the upper hole in the block (middle yellow circle) near the exhaust, but doesnt seem to fit now with the manifold on.
Please help,
Thanks,
Jeff

A picture of the sensor would really help.

It sounds like you're talking about the low oil presure switch. I believe it would go on the bottom right hole. I tried to look on my car but couldn't see it without jacking it up. A 350TPI in a jeep would be great, excellent low end torque. I have 2 jeeps myself and would like to do a V8 swap.

It goes in the bottom hole on the right in your picture just above where the oil filter would be.
