You say you had an arc, I would take the door apart and see what is causing it for sure, Something isn't right.

Like I said above, Remove the intake, It is really easy and install the relocation kit.
In my opinion this is the correct way to do it.

Your right, But I would rather call it the correct way rather the Purist way, I can see doing it with a socket, But I always recommend the relocation kit to save time in the future and I also think the heat from the block has an effect on the sender, Just my opinion, I would never cut a hold in any case.

Just put the oil sending unit in, it works.
I went ahead and cut the hole, I did not feel comfortable pulling the intake.Thanks everyone for the help and input.I have some thin gauge aluminum and will paint flat back on both sides,double stick tape and a little black silicone.
Thanks again and keep on posting,have a great weekend.
Instead of the double stick tape, I used 3" foil tape on the inside, with silicone underneath, taped it down flat. Painted tape first.
