ok i know they call it a sending unit and i think the switch is different or something, but to help you out, it is below your intake manifold like towards the center. not hard to find, its one of the few things going into the block. I picked up a nisport oil adapter for 50 bux, pricy but does the job beutifully to keep the sending unit so u dont have lights on the dash, and also for lines and an aftermarket temp gauge or pressure gauge.

i think the pressure sensor is just called the oil pressure switch, as it just makes the light come on when the oil pressure drops below a certain level.

how is the sandwich adapter? does is use the same size filters and do they thread on nicely? im plannin on picking one up soon but heard some bad stuff about fitment.

its mounted on the plate that your oil filter screws onto. 1/8 bspt.
