Oil Pressure sending unit

Anyone have any tips on getting a socket wrench on the oil pressure sending unit on the back side of the intake? I need to replace it and dont have much room...go figure

Do you mean the one on the lower back of the driver side of the engine? At least thats where mine is on the 1993. I had to use a open box wrench on it no freaking room. Broke it on the header install

Only the 93 has the sending unit right above the oil filter.... 94-97 is on top of the block behind the intake manifold, and difficult to reach.

Wow that sounds like fun to get to! I love the simplicity of the 1993s.

Just thought I would add in that you can buy a special socket that works well for removal/installation, pepboys or wherever has them, they have a funky shape.
