Location of oil pressure sending unit for 1987 4.3 Chevy pick up?

The oil pressure sending unit location on a 1987 Chevy 4.3L pickup truck (also known as a Vortec V6) is typically on the driver's side of the engine block, near the oil filter. However, there's some variation depending on specific engine configuration and accessories.

To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your 1987 Chevy 4.3L pickup will show a diagram with the precise location. This is the most reliable method.

* Look at your engine: Carefully inspect the engine block near the oil filter. The sending unit is usually a small, cylindrical device with one or two wires connected to it. It might be slightly recessed into the block.

Caution: Be careful when working around hot engine components. Let the engine cool completely before attempting to locate or service the oil pressure sending unit.
