Where is the oil pressure sending sensor located on a Chevy El Camino?

The location of the oil pressure sending unit on a Chevy El Camino varies slightly depending on the year and engine. However, it's generally found on the engine block, near the oil filter. It's usually a small, threaded sensor with one or two wires attached.

To be certain, you'll need to:

1. Consult your El Camino's repair manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have diagrams showing the exact location for your specific year and engine.

2. Look at online forums and parts diagrams: Search online for "[your El Camino's year and engine] oil pressure sending unit location." Websites like forums dedicated to El Caminos or parts websites offering diagrams may show you a picture.

3. Visually inspect your engine: Once you've got a general idea from the above steps, look around the oil filter area of the engine. The sensor is usually readily accessible, though sometimes difficult to see without removing some components. Be careful when working around hot engine parts.

Remember to always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before working on any electrical components.
