Default Oil temp 320 degrees!

Fired up my ‘86 Vette today and noticed my Oil temp was at 320 degrees, Obviously a bad oil temp switch or faulty wire.
Is the Temp switch easy to replace and where exactly is it located?

Thanks for any help

Yes its above the filter, a little bit of a pain to reach it.

it was an eye opener for sure. Lol!
I just had my dash rebuilt so nothing worked for years, I noticed after I plugged in the new one this problem as well as my Speedometer not working (just a zero reading).
I assume my VSS is the culprit, that should be fun to change...NOT!
