Changing Oil Pressure Sending Unit/switch
Have a oil leak found out it is my oil pressure sending unit/switch by the distributor. Is it a pain to change them? Never replaced one before

Best way is to pull the distributor. I would line up the timing marks and record the position of the rotor before pulling the distributor.
I also record (mark) the position of the rotor just after the dist is raised up for a good starting index when inserting.
I use a non-hardening Permatex on the threads when installing those units.

I was able to do this from the drivers side without pulling anything. This socket and a 12" extension did the trick.
