Where's the oil sending unit?

Its a 1984 camaro with the 305 carb engine. I bought a new Oil pressure gauge and sending unit but I have no ideal where at on the engine it goes. I can't even find the stock one. I've search a few threads but came up with nothing. So any advice is appreciated

Back of the intake/block area by the distributor on the dr side. (I think)

I believe it attaches to the top of the engine block just behind the intake manifold and to the right of the distributor.
