NEED HELP ASAP...Intake Install Problem (PICS) I need to have this car up and running by Thursday night for my trip to Gatlinburg, bad planning on my part. For anyone who can offer assistance your advice is greatly appreciated. I am replacing the knock sensors and broke a couple plastic pieces behind the intake manifold. For times sake, would epoxy/JB weld be sufficient?
First: This was located just behind the intake manifold and is a connector for only 1 pin (sensor) but I'm not sure what it runs to. Could I just use epoxy to get this black plastic piece to stay put, or should I buy a new one?
Second: This is the clip for the brake booster vacuum that plugs into the back of the intake. The plastic sensor conector broke and that is all. The pictures show what happened. Could this be epoxied as well or should I completely replace the clip?
Also, is it essential to replace the gaskets on the intake manifold?

1. Oil pressure sending unit. It will cause your OP gauge to read 0 when engine is on. Breaking this is a common occurence during an intake swap, which is why you need to lift up on the intake, then out. Do a search and you'll see how much people got them for from GM.
2. You could probably epoxy the hole and get away with it with no clip. The FAST intake doesn't have a clip. Just put some RTV around the sensor and put it back in the hole.
3. You don't have to replace the gaskets but they're cheap insurance.

BADFNZ: are you saying for the map sensor I could just fill in the hole with epoxy and block off the sensor clip?

No he is not..Hes saying that needs to be replaced.. But you could get away with expoxying the oil sender unit for now.
OIl pressure sensor needs a special socket to remove it.
