Pretty sure my '09 CUCV has no idiot light and I know it has no pressure gauge, so I was gonna add one. Can any of y'all etll me where I might look for an existing hole to connect the sender to?

similar to a SBC/BBC, rear driver side of engine... might be more towards the head than where the distributor would be

Well, there is *also* a water sender of some variety there, with the oil sender hiding behind it... but yep, we're golden.

Gonna feel a LOT better about not cooking the 6.2 once she has some gauges on her.

Speaking of, is ~45PSI oil pressure normal at high idle?

Diesel gauge is 20PSI higher than the gas one (80 vs. 60) so I'm guessing it's fine. :)

(sender is different too)

This one is aftermarket, a cheapy, but it's sender and gauge matched, at least.
