Is it the same on the 5.0 as the rest of the Ford small blocks (right above the oil filter)? I bought a new Autometer oil pressure gauge (stock gauge is crapping out) and I plan on tossing it in tonight. It came with a friggin huge sending unit, I hope it fits.

Yes

I believe it is above the oil filter it is connected to a hex shaped tube that unscrews from the block and the unit itself.

i remember on the 351 in the 69 cougar i had, it was just a little sending unit screwed right into the block. i'm sure ford had to have complicated the design along the way......

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
