8ba oil pressure sending unit question

[19Fordy]

I have reinstalled the oil canister on my 8ba and have installed an pressure shut off switch for the electric fuel pump and the stock oil pressure sending unit. In the photo the stock oil pressure sending unit is on the right side of the brass T fitting facing the fire wall and the pressure shut off switch is on the left side of the T.

My question is: If the stock oil pressure sending unit is installed lying on its side (as shown) ,instead of vertically, will it work properly?

Thank you.
