How do you get off the oil pressure sending unit?

should just unscrew from the back of the black pull off the rubber cap first and then use a deepwhel socket on it

I can't seem to get that black cover off. My hand is cramping up like crazy.

yup its a bitch sometimes. The rubber is all hard and tends to just break off cuz its all dried out.

you buy any chance dont have some spark plug wire pullers that look like some tongs.... try those if you are having a tough time getting to the back of the block

Not yet, but since last night I haven't really tried. I mounted the turbo and manifold to the engine, but the compressor housing is touching both the radiator fan housing and the a/c compressor hose. The fan housing i can just cut to make room, but the a/c compressor is already pushed back a couple of inches from where it should be? Is it ok for it to be touching?

Woo got it off finally. My fingers hurt like no other because its really cold out (for this area at least). Only got a little left to do. Gotta tap the oil pan, hook up the downpipe, hook up the MSD and the MF2, do all the vacuum routing and put in my oil.
