Oil pressure sender/sensor on an fb

So.. this is a stupid question but I have searched and couldnt find anything.. except fd owners talking about how theirs always fails.. haha

I just got this car and the wiring under the hood looks like a retarded blind chipmunk tried to "improve" the harness..

I figured out where the water temp sensor is and which wire it was.. Ive also figured out which wire controls the oil pressure gauge..

But where does it plug in at? Ive looked around the drivers side of the engine bay where the wire looks like it would naturally go.. but I cant find where to plug it in to.. I know the gauge works so Im hoping I can just plug it in and have a dash that completely works.. yay..

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Oil press sensor is located directly next to (toward firewall) the water temp sensor on the drivers side. Its kinda hard to see it but its there.

Hrrm.. is it on the actual engine? or the oil cooler? or what? I just went and looked/felt around again and I cant seem to find it..

Maybe Im missing the obvious? Do you have a pic for reference? I looked everywhere between the water temp sensor and the firewall and didnt see it.. maybe its broke off?

It's on the engine. It's directly below the oil filter. Looks like a mushroom.

But not every FB had an oil pressure sensor.
