It'll come out. You are just going to have to put some pressure to it.

Screw out.
It has thread compound on it, so it will be somewhat sticky comming out.
A little muscle will get it

cougarGT, where the sender goes there are two plugs almost linear with each other what is the plug on the right for?

They are both oil galleries, IIRC.

Correct, CougarGT...

You can see the rear head clearly in this pic- You can see the oil passages both spring from the rear block oil passage. The one that you're hooking the sender into is obscured by the 3L PCV feed tube, but it's there nevertheless.
