Default Oil Pressure sending unit

Where do you install an oil pressure sending unit on a 98 LS1?

its at the back of the intake manifold (on the top of the block) behind the coolant line, it likes to break when doing a ls1 to ls6 intake swap

fyi u will need a special socket its a deep-well you should be able to buy it at most auto parts stores (assuming you have a broken sensor). Just ask for a oil pressure sending unit socket if i remember right my brother payed 13$ish at napa for one.
