Any tips on removing original oil pressure sensor? There's not much room to get a wrench in there, and can't find a socket that will fit it.
Thanks!

I had to remove the throttle bracket to get some room to work. A pair of channel locks should be able to get at it. The good news is that the replacement pressure switch allows a socket to fit over the body. One note of caution be carefull of the angled adapter that is threaded into the block that the Oil Pressure Switch threads into. I ended up shearing mine off and had to use an easy out to remove the broken piece from the block, and then I had to find a replacement adapter in the junk yard.
