Default Oil pressure sending unit question

I just recently did an intake swap and now I am not getting any oil pressure indication. I don't see any oil leaking and after taking it for a drive I can not see anything wrong other than the oil pressure gauge not working. Is it possible the connector on top got knocked off? Can I drive the car like this?

You probly broke the oil pressure sending unit with the brake booster hose. Pull the intake back off to see if its broke.

I wouldnt drive it until im sure the car has oil pressure. You will do alot of damage if for some reason you dont have pressure. More than likely its the sending unit....but id make sure before I drive it.

You guys were right, totally broke it in half. I was being lazy because I already had to take the intake off once before to fix the MAP sensor that I did not put in correctly. Everything is working great now, thanks.
