Where to install oil pressure sensor?
I want to install an engine oil pressure guage.
I have a maintenance manual on disk but it does not show the location of the oil pressure switch. (no picture)
Where is the oil pressure switch located? Should I tap into this location with a tee or is there an other location on the engine that I can get a good oil pressure reading without removing the oil pressure switch? The switch seals with a O-ring and it may require an adapter to install a tee.

Thanks guys.
The plug on top of the oil filter mounting plate and on the center line with the oil filter will be a perfect place to attach a hydrolic line to mount the sensor on the firewall to get it away from engine vibrations.
The line is being made for me at NAPA.
