Default Oil Sending Unit Replacement

I have a 1995 5.9L 360 V8 Dodge Ram.

Where is the oil sending unit? And how do I go about replacing it?

Thanks.

Looking at the motor from the front, it is to the left of the distributor behind the intake manifold.

Edit: you will need a KD 3458 or Lisle 13250 or a deep 1 1/16 socket.

My 1 1/16th socket was too big.......

It is fun to get to, pull the filter housing off the throttle body, lay yourself up there, and you MIGHT be able to see it...... just to the left of the distributor, as you are lying on the engine.

i used an adjustable monkey wrench, but i had the intake off, so i guess that was cheating.
