Chris, what kind of car and gauge? Most sending units are located on back of block to the right of dist looking at it from the front. Here are 2 pics, 1 manual sending unit (original gauges with oil tube to gauge) and 1 electric (this is an AutoMeter sending unit).

Summit has a set of all electric gauges for $99. The appearance is very good. You just have to live with "Summit" imprinted on the face of the gauges.

I think the sender on your car is just above the oil filter and looks nothing like the one in the pic here. It is black plastic with a weatherpack type connector and 3 wire (If memeory serves me correct)
