oil pressure switch location and swap?

I have an 87 firebird, the gauge reads around 40ish sometimes but sometimes it's slowly dropped, trying to figure out if it's the oil pump or the pressure switch. Someone told me if my oil pressure was actually dropping like the gauge suggested i would instantly hear the lifters knocking...
Regardless it's old, been sitting for years and i'm fixing it up.
Where is the switch located? and is this an easy swap?

Sending Information.

The oil sensor sender is located in the lower left side of the engine.

You might need an oil sensor socket depending if it’s original or aftermarket.

That will become obvious when you see the sender.


Happy Racing!

How bout those too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the ones that need headlights for a little rain
