On the block facing the firewall, right off below the intake manifold, around the middle of it.

I figure that it might be connected to where the oil filter goes on... That's where it is for the DSM's... Crazy4cars could be onto something.. I've never tried to look...

Well, like I said.. For the DSM's.. The sending wire is connected to the housing where you screw the oil filter onto... Should be a little wire and a clip... Maybe connected to a circular looking thingy.. That is all I got for ya Bud.. Good luck.. Post up so I can see if you found it or not!!

hmm.... that thread tells you where. It's right on the oil filter housing, above the oil filter. There are 2 ports you can use on the housing. Look on page 2 of that thread and it will give you the specs of the adapter fittings to use for mating up the the ports. You'll have to check what the specs are for the senders that you gauges use to mate with the adapters aswell.

Here you can see the oil filter(white), the oil temp(on the oil pan also double up as a drain plug) and oil pressure sender above the oil filter.

You're removing things you don't have to. You've got to get under the car to see it. It's on the passenger side next to the oil filter.

You are looking on the wrong side. Stand in front of the car and look at it. It is on the left/passenger side down where the oil filter is.
