The sensor is in the back of the motor by the firewall. It just unscrews from an angled tube that comes up from the intake. It sound have a wire going to it. Its long and round. Its not difficult to replace.

No, not on your 91 engine.
There are 2 places you can install it. Either at the top of the block behind the intake near the distributor where you should have a pipe plug right now, or on the side of the block above the oil filter where the factory switch/sender is.

Re: help! aft market oil pressure gauge?
The computer doesn't know or care about oil pressure, so you can't mess it up. The stock OPSU/switch only operates the stock gauge, and acts as a backup to the fuel pump relay.
It's not really behind the distributor, it's more beside it, on the block itself behind the intake manifold, between the two heads.

Re: help! aft market oil pressure gauge?
I used the port in the back of engine (next to distributor) for the Oil pressure, and the one on top of the oil filter for my oil temp.
