what is behind the engine?
I dropped a oil sending unit in that dark hole behind the engine and I heard it fall a few inches. How do I get to it? Do I need to jack the car up and take off the torque tube cover plate? Please help! Thanks!

Just the clutch bell housing and then the torque tube. More than likely it got hung up on the wiring harness that runs down the top of the torque tube and Ys on top the bell housing just in back of the engine. Magnetic probe??

Goodluck!
Btw...put an extension on that tiny vacuum line. I used guage pressure line and took the copper out of a 10 guage piece of wire to use the insulation as the connector.
