Recently the oil pressure gage shows a drop in oil pressure after warming up. No other indicators come on and the pressure drops to 0 after about 10 miles. The vehicle runs well with no other indications of a problem and I change the oil and filter regularly. I purchased an oil sending unit to verify the sending unit was not bad and I cannot find. Where is the oil sending unit on the engine and is it hard to replace?

Jack, I have looked all around the distributor and can find nothing, but as a reminder, there are so many hoses and cables, I cannot be sure just what is what. The distributor sits so close to the firewall, there is no room to do much of anything. Thanks for the help and I appreciate anything you might find. Marshall HI Marshall this is what i found so far hope that will help Jack
