Cant you just get an is300 union bolt and swap it out with the one you have on drivers side of block and use that to tap in.

Hey there-

The sending unit on this one was on the oil filter housing block, left side looking at it- it was $12.00 to replace - light is still on - looks to me like I may have confused the Oil Pressure light with the Oil level light - doh!

The light I am referring to is between the tach and speedo...

Turns out, it may be the Oil Level sensor tho - looking for it next, I am assuming its on the pan...
