I have never had any luck in a car getting these out with heat unless I had a Oxy torch to use, and even then you need to use foil to keep stuff from catching fire.

I find that a big flat nose tapered punch that is just small enough to fit in the square and a good size ball peen hammer is the way to go.

6 to 8 hard it’s will distort the plug enough to jar the threads free and then they come out.

The location of the oil pressure sensor varies through vehicle make, model, and engine. In many engines, the oil pressure sensor is located close to the oil filter, typically threaded into the engine block or oil filter housing.In some setups, the oil pressure sensor is located near or at the back of the intake manifold.

Pontiac motors from the factory regardless of body style have always had the sensor/ or sender on the oil filter adapter.

You must be thinking of the mid 70s when Pontiacs could be had with a SBC or a 403 Olds motor.

That pipe plug removal is tuff. I tried making a square adapter out of a 3/8" extension. Even slight rounded sharp corners. Didnt work. Someone suggested getting Snap on socket specifically for those plugs years ago. Then I got a compression driver, strike with ball peen hammer. Soak with penetrating oil.Works for me.
