At this point, I'm truly stumped, and rather frustrated.

Must be different on the BBC then. Here's what mine looks like, with engine out of the truck. I had forgotten it's actually at an angle.Cap and rotor are off, but my problem is that the sending unit is just almost touching the block. Close enough the socket won't fully seat on the sending unit because of how close it is to the block.

Yup. This is what I have. It won't fit between the sensor and the block. I'm afraid the sensor is cross threaded. Or it's maybe bent. I dunno. But the top broke off, so it has to come out and be replaced.
Yes you do. Cam position sensor wire. It's "southern engineered" all the way over to the plug on the black box. Brown wire coiled on top of the harness, blue butt splice connector at the ECM plug.Hmm, hopefully bent and not cross threaded. Given that it's already broken, and you've got other stuff around it taken apart, can you get it off with a small crescent wrench or maybe large slip joint pliers from the top? Then figure out where to go from there?
I know the typical small Crescent wrench won't open wide enough, but there are some newer ones that open quite wide.
On that picture, do I see a broken wire coming out of that smaller diameter plastic wire loom?
I'm giving up on the sending unit for tonight, and I'm just gonna take the socket to work and have one of the machinists turn down the OD on this socket. Hopefully that will allow me to seat it on there sending unit.
Just frustrating is all. I was all primed to get the fuel system put back together tonight....That sounds like a pretty good plan.
Yup I heard that! Don't some engines have a brass angle fitting on the oil pressure sending unit for that reason( little to no clearance)?.Just frustrating is all. I was all primed to get the fuel system put back together tonight....
