Re: Location of Oil Sending Unit? Very cool. I don't have many tools, so hopefully that won't be to much of a bitch. The diagram I saw said oil pressure sensor. I was wondering if that was it. Thanks man.

Re: Location of Oil Sending Unit? When I broke mine I had to remove the intake and the valley cover inorder to remove the old one. If you can find an extra deep socket you could probably replace it with the intake still on.

Re: Location of Oil Sending Unit? when i replaced my knock sensors i broke my oil sensor as i pulled the intake cause there is a hose that runs to the master cylinder....i broke it off to the metal nut so i just used a socket to get it off.....of course i broke the new one that i bought while putting it in 
.....dont use a pair of channel locks to put it on 
.....i had to go down to my buddies shop and he had a special deep *** socket that came in 3 seperate pieces and that worked!....not to freak you out or anything but it was a PITA!!!! for me anyway.....of course i am a slightly overgrown 6'4" 340 pound man....GOOD LUCK!!!

Re: Location of Oil Sending Unit? Ouch...That's not good. Well, you got about 160 pounds on me. You better start moding that thing so you can see some low 13's.
Hopefully the deep socket that minivette used will keep me out of trouble.
