Oil pressure sending unit location?
I am finishing my project and am not sure where to put the oil pressure sending unit. The engine has Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold (it was so obvious on my old 350). Does anybody have a picture of it or some way of guiding me?
thanks, Jon H.

On the early year thirdgens it should be screwed into a hole in the top, back side of the block, behind the intake manifold.
On the later years, I think 89-92, they moved it to just above the oil filter. It looks like a black 35mm film cannister.

and on later gens it leaks _all_ the goddamn time. No matter what you do.
But, you should still attempt to try and use teflon tape around the sending unit's threads. Not that it matters as you'll likely start leaking out of the seams of the sending unit itself.

Thanks, I will look near the oil filter. This is a new ZZ383 from Gm Performance so its probably at the same location as 89-92.
