Re: MPI 4.2L Oil Sensor Question
No your oil gauge come off that hole too. It's the funny looking round metal
thing on the brass elbow fitting. I just removed the brass elbow and ran my
oil pressure line right off the block. PS I recommend you toss the cheap
factory electrical gauge and replace it with a mechanical unit. They are
much more accurate in my opinion.

Re: MPI 4.2L Oil Sensor Question
All of the fittings are defined inthe instruction booklet.
When I installed the MPFI on my Jeep, I didn't go near the oil pressure
sender. You are correct, the ECM doesn't need to know oil pressure.
