Yes I did... although what you are seeing now is the reassembly process. I don't really have enought space to hoist it in assembled, so I'm doing it the "slightly"  more difficult way. Actually, it isn't that bad, and not the first time I've assembled a motor in car; maybe I'm just used to it.
Thanks everyone for the compliments on the install. Real credit has to go to Shaggy, I got the idea to check out the location from PM's with him.

I NEVER would have thought of this. On the firewall was what I was thinking. This is INFINITELY better. Thanks!
That's a 2qt or 3qt??
Did some searching & BAT sells the 1qt unit... Is that the one?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I wasn't even looking at that post as I was responding to the clean install.
Terry just reminded me that:
The plug to the left of the sender is the gallery between the "dirty side" of the oil filter and the oil pump outlet.
The oil sender is between the "clean side" outlet and the main oil gallery.
Spot on for him to catch the fact they are not the same gallery like Pope alluded to.
Before and after the filter would not register the same pressure readings.

oops. maybe I should update my glasses, looked like the same passage to me.
So which is better, sending clean oil to the accumulator, or sending clean oil to the sending unit??

Better would be "T" ing the clean side.
If you had to choose then of course clean oil to and from the accumulator is by far the better choice.
Remember the stock sending unit would get a falsely higher reading on the dirty side. It is possible the difference would not matter to the PCM but it's not like an aftermarket sender that is just running a gauge.
