Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
I feel realy embarrassed about asking this but where is the port located on a 302 block. Engine was originally a 1987 Mercury FI 5.0. There is a plug on the aft driver's side but it is very low. Please help and don't tell anyone else I asked such a dumb question.

My wife said that if I would get off the forum and take her to dinner, that by the time I get back I would have my answer. Come on guys you have let me down. I need to go to the garage after an hour at Benigan's and the check I had to pick up.

My engine is a 351w, but I put mine just to the left and above the oil filter

The port is just forward of the oil filter and just aft of the timing cover on the drivers side of the block. If your engine doesn't have one, you'll need an extention tube, as there is not enough room to screw the sender directly into the block. A 2" long piece of brass pipe from the hardware store works nicely for the extension tube.
So how was dinner?

Thank you. Just went and verified it was there. It is plugged but I see where it goes. There are at least three other of the same size ports all at the same level the books say it was where you said it was but just couldn't verify. By the way the only person that saved dinner was Samuel Adams. Have you tried his winter lager.

Kirk - No problem. I haven't tried Sam's Winter Lager, but it sounds good.

Another question though
The port that was identified on this thread - just in front of the oil filter. Does that "see" oil pressure from before or after the oil filter?
And another port - same side of the engine but towads the rear of the block - what does that "see"?

Wilf:
I believe the port is a tee into the oil gallery, thus the "return" after passing thru the filter. The one aft on the same level goes into the water jacket.

Do not use a brass pipe. I've since changed this to iron pipe because the brass one cracked while I was on the dyno. Also make it as short as possible.

Use steel and as short as possible. a long pipe with a weight on the end fails quickly due to vibration/fatique
