Where is the Oil Pressure Sending Unit on 87 Chevy?

The oil pressure sending unit on an 87 Chevy is located on the driver's side of the engine block, near the oil filter. However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (e.g., small block, big block, V6).

To be certain, you'll need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the specific location for your vehicle.

2. Look at a repair manual specific to your vehicle's engine: This will have diagrams and detailed information.

3. Search online for a diagram of your specific engine: Many websites, including some parts retailers, have engine diagrams. Make sure you enter the correct engine code (often found on a sticker under the hood) to find the correct diagram.

Looking at the engine itself is also helpful. The sending unit is typically a small, cylindrical unit with one or more wires connected to it. It's usually fairly accessible, but be careful working near hot engine parts.
