Default Oil pressure sender/switch before or after filter?

Hi, maybe this is an odd question, but does anyone know where the oil pressure sensor channel connects to on a 5.2L Magnum? Does it take the pressure before the filter, or after? If the filter is good, the pressure should probably be the same either way, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

If it is on top of the motor like the 3.9 Magnum then according to the 95 FSM it is upstream of the oil filter. That is the oil pumps from the sump through the filter first, then the rest of the motor. Its chapter9
