460- Oil pressure Sender

I have a 460 from a Grand Marquis, I think around 1976. Wondering where the oil pressure sender is. I can't remember from when I was cleaning/installing it. I took a quick look, but it could easily be hidden. Is it on the back of the engine?
I have a oil filter relocator on it. Couldn't I just run a hose from the guage straight into one of the available holes in the relocator plate?
Thanks.

Should be in back of the engine behind the rear of the intake manifold.

Thanks Pro.
Does It matter where I get my oil pressure reading from?

I had my pressure sensor up by the oil pump and it was about 5psi higher than at the rear. I moved it to the rear because this is the last and furthest away from the oil pump. Just starting my engine today when it was -16 the oil pressure hung around 0 for about 3-4 seconds and took about a minute to get up to about 50psi. The normal cold psi on my 460 is 80psi so I know there wasnt much flow going on.
