Oil Pressure sending unit location

[Kim Dawson]

My 304s had the unit near the oil filter I think. The unit I have is like on the 6 cyl engines, a big can. It doesn't look like it will fit on the 304. Is there another spot on the engine that it will fit? Or can I turn that brass square fitting a certain direction and get it to fit. Or is there another smaller sending unit I should get?

I'm not sure if this will help...
This is the parts list for the CJ. The sending unit is the same for AMC 4, 6, and 8 cylinders.
Note the additional parts that may be necessary on your application.

This is the resistance requirements for the sending unit.

Thanks. Looks like I need more fittings to get the unit to clear the block.
