I have a 389 and don't know where the oil pressure sending unit goes. Or is there a spot on the engine? I was going to try a search but its not working now. Thanks in advance!

Back in '59, I think I remember there being a 1/8" NPT tapped hole in the aluminum mount for the canister-type filter. I don't know if the later 389's also had such a hole.

I found the spot. Its a small plug on the end of the oil filter housing.

that is the factory sender spot. Gets a lot of heat from the exhaust. I changed mine & put it in the oil gallery next to the distributor. Gives a more accurate reading as to what the actual oil pressure is. Suggest you put the oil light sender in the spot on the filter & install an additional gage plumbed into the dist. oil plug.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
