I know on the windsor V8 it is on the driver's side towards the front, close to the mechanical fuel pump. I never worked a Cleveland unit. You may have to pull away both the power steering pump and the fuel pump to get to the oil pressure sensor. It requires a special 8 sided socket, known these days as an "oxygen sensor" socket, that has and extra cut for the non-removable oxygen sensor wire. I got my socket at Big Lots. The sensor screws in a regular 1/4 fpt pipe fitting, you can tap in a mechanical gage temporarily if you want to confirm your pressure with something calibrated. Be sure, putting the fuel pump back, to put the top in before the bottom and then tip it down to let the threads engage the holes, to make sure the rocker engages the cam properly and doesn't get bent.
