To be certain, you should:
* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual specific to your 1984 GMC with a 350 engine will show you a diagram and pinpoint the location.
* Look closely around the oil filter: This is the most common area.
* Use a visual inspection: With the engine cool, carefully examine the engine block near the oil filter. Look for a small sensor with wires connected to it.
Caution: Be careful when working around hot engine parts. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting any inspection or repair.
