1979 Rocket 350 oil pressure sending unit location?

Where is the oil pressure sending unit on a 1979 Oldsmobile 350? I need it's location so I can hook up a Sunpro "Styleline" CP8216 oil pressure gauge that I got my hands on. I got a voltmeter with it too, now all I need is a temp gauge and I'm set. I know how / where to hook those up, but I don't have a clue where the oil pressure sending unit is.

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks, I know exactly where that is, wasn't sure if that was it or not. I'll update my thread on this car when I get the gauge installed sometime this week, gotta wait for it to get here. I was worried it would be on the back of the engine. I was practically sitting on the engine in my dads '83 Dodge Ram putting the sending unit in the back of the engine, behind the distributor.

Thanks again, by the way, summit has these gauges on sale for $3 a piece, but they sold out of the temp gauge.
