mmwjr - I found those old posts.

I'm hoping someone has jotted it down, but if all else fails, there is a WalMart a half an hour from our marina. Thanks guys.

The oil pressure sending unit is on the left side of the engine, aft of the distributor, and about halfway down the block. The female spade connector on mine was loose, so I squeezed it with pliors.
