oil temperature sensor is over the oil filter housing,this is for oil temperature gauge.Behind the distributor there is the oil PRESSURE sender (for oil pressure gauge),and oil switch,this is a backup feature in case of a faulty fuel pump relay.

the sensor i have looks like this?
Wires located near my oil filter have the 3 prongs...so I am assuming this sensor goes near the oil filter?
