The two locations it could be are

1. Top rear of engine next to distributor

2. Bottom drivers side of engine above the oil filter.

The second option is more likely as it was moved to this location on most vehicles in the early to mid 80s
I have an 87 sierra classic, original engine was 305 TBI,
I have pulled it and replaced w/ pre-1980 4bolt main 350. Truck has a gauge not idiot light. I have the location behind the distributor and I have the one just above the oil filter. I want to remove the plug from the above the oil filter, it is very TIGHT!!! what would be best way to remove this plug? I dont have a torch for heat.

My '87 wiring harness for the gauge is a single tan wire on the driver side that plugs into the single spade clip on the sender above the oil filter. So I need to really remove this plug. I just dont want to break it off. I sprayed lubricant, hopefully it will loosen up.
