Dodge 360 [year 1992], made the mistake of leaving it for 2 years without running it. Have been able to start it OK, but the oil pressure gauge shows low pressure, and the check engine light stays on. Does anyone know the location of the oil pressure sending unit? Am also wondering if an engine flush would be the best route[the pour-in-the-oil type, then running engine for 5 minutes, then changing the oil] in case the relief valve is stuck open. Any advice appreciated.

 

The sensor is on the rear, passenger side of the block, on the same machined surface as the distributor. It will have a single wire hooked to it.

 

Is that the top surface of the block, since the distributor is on the top of the block in that location? I see a sensor in that area, but had thought it was the temp sensor.

 

that's the one... the temp sensor is near the front (at least on my mag engine it is).

 

Thankyou both for the helpful replies! Found it, cleaned the contacts on the harness and the sensor, and it shows good oil pressure now. Big relief! Thanks again, Dutchy
