i'm an idiot. The bolt I was talking about WAS the sender. Or at least part of it. I had just gripped onto the metal part and twisted and thought that would unlatch it. I got a 14MM wrench on there and it popped right off. Now I have the new sensor installed as Zmanco described, and am ready for a ride!

Hi. So I just tried to do this mod on my recently acquired 1977 280Z. On my car, i loosened the stock oil pressure switch, but after twisting for what felt like ever, the thing never came off. Thats when I noticed that compared to your car, Zmanco, it seems like my oil pressure switch is threaded into a bolt/adapter of some kind. Is this normal? Should the S130 oil pressure switch just bolt right into the block? On your car, at least on the picture you posted, it seems like its screwed into something else, on mine its definitely going right into the block ... although I see you have a 240Z, so maybe that's the difference? Any help would be appreciated, maybe I need to get in there with an open ended wrench and see if that bolt loosens things up ...
