I am guessing you have a Chevy 305. If that is the case, you can move the big sending unit to the block in back of the distributor if you use some brass fittings. If ti is the one I am thinking of, it is the gauge sender, not the idiot light.

It was a 305, I yanked that for a 350 crate motor though. That makes more sense now that I think about it though. No chance they make a smaller sending unit or are brass fittings the better option? Man o man, now if this was my only problem I'd be good to go.
new problem: my car has a/c so the mounting bracket was bolted to drivers side manifold. The headers don't allow that same old bracket to clear, but the paper with the headers said this would be an issue and to get bracket part number 88304. I did that and this bracket looks nothing like the old one and will not fit either. took it back to the speed shop i got it from and the boss their tried helping me by confirming it was the right part and trying to figure out if their was another bracket that worked with this one as he thought. Needless to say we've come up empty handed. So, what I'm curious of now is does anyone have any photos of how their a/c is mounted if they have headers? I know this ones a long shot, but I can't figure out for the life of me where this thing is supposed to bolt to.

what if you were to jack up only one side of the car at a time, the angle of the car would give you more room to wedge them things up there. i think thats how i did mine last time but its been awhile....
