i tried searching but i could not find a single post that stated where the oil pressure sensor is on an 87 5.0

can someone help me out here?

 

I'm not sure if it's the same place as yours, but on my '95 it is right at the oil filter. Just in front of the filter at the fitting there is a sender.

It's like signmaster said near the oil filter and some models had two. One for the light and one for the gauge. There could be one
at the back of the intake. I know on the 93 I had it a knock sensor at the back also. Hope this helps
