On my '72 the oil pressure gauge is mechanical and is connected to a fitting in the top of the block, just left of the distributor and right behind the intake.

What year are you working on?

I don't remember what year they changed position, but both answers are correct.

My oil pressure guage seems to bounce around quite a bit. It will jump up and down very quickly. What should i check.

Mine does the same thing. I've heard that it is common on vettes with this kind of guage. I basically just live with it.

That is usually caused by the sending unit. Very common.
