Default thing hanging under the car...

alright.. go tht eheaders in, we're putting in plugs now, but we noticed this thing hanging under the car...





and also, for the EGR, there was only one steel vacuum line going to the passenger header. can i just plug this without having to take out all of the EGR stuff right now? (i don't have blockoff plates.) can I just plug any extra vacuum hoses from the AIR or EGR?

thanks a lot guys

looks like the oil pressure sending unit that should be behind the intake manifold. Is it on your LT1 car?

Could be, his is a 93, 93s and early 94s had the sender on the left side of the block above the filter.
is it hanging from a wire?

pic for reference.



Weird though, if it was just hanging there, it would show zero pressure on the gauge and leak oil everywhere, unless plugged.

no oil leaking.. hanging from a wire.. i was told somewhere else it was the oil pressure sending gauge, but couldn't find anywhere where it would plug in except a circular indentation in the block....?? i don't know. i was doing my header install when I saw it. i was also told it was a common break when it comes to header installations. would it cause the car to not start?

Well, it wouldnt cause it not to start, but when it does start your gonna have a huge leak and loss of pressure.

Should look like this somewhat.

So is that broken off or will it just screw back in? If broken, I guess I need to get a new one today. GRrr
