Recently sourced VHX Dakota Digital gauges for an 84 c10 that has a straight 6. Found how the speed sensor should go in, the water temp sensor is attached to the inlet replacing what’s there but I’m not finding where the oil sensor is on either side of the straight 6. Tried Dakota support and the manual only covers a v8 or LS motor swap. Currently, this has idiot gauges so I’d imagine there’s a sensor somewhere. Didn’t find anything for my motor in the book I bought (Chilton and Hayes).

Where should the oil sensor go on a straight 6?

The oil sensor position for the I6 should be above the starter on the right side of the engine (right side as you sit in the driver's seat) just below the lifter galley cover. It is almost in line with the dipstick tube.
