Oil pressure sending unit.
How do I get this thing back in there? I just installed my Hooker 2210 headers last night, and I can't get in there to tighten that sensor down. Any ideas? Tools?

Did you remove the sending unit to install the header, or for some other reason? My edelbrock headers get right in the way as well, however I found I was able to get to the sending unit boss from underneath the car. It can be a tight fit. I was able to use a crescent wrench on mine, but then again I'm not sure of the design differences between yours and my edelbrocks.

You can also put a plug in there, and move the OPSU to the top. On the china wall, to the driver side of the distributor, in the top of the block there is a small hole that should be plugged - you can relocate the OPSU there, with some brass adapters/fittings and an elbow - that's where mine is on my 1992 RS with old school carbed 350. Would solve the header issue.

I couldn't get the cresent wrench in there. I could relocate it to the top I guess. I will try to get some adapters.
