Default oil pressure gauge at 0?!?!

need some help, please! yesterday i insatlled my ls6 intake, seemed like every thing went smooth. then notice my oil pressure gauge is reading 0! i know a lot of people break their sending unti when installing the intake but ive done alot of searches and they been saying if its broke the gauge is fully tached out. theres also one more problem, my a/c is now only blowing out from the floor. could i have pluged something in wrong or unplugged something?


thanks, chad

yes you pluged in somthing wrong and you prolly didn't plug the oil sending unit back in which is why its 0 for the a/c check the vaccum lines.

For the AC vent issue look for a disconnected vacuum line behind the intake/then going along the firewall towards the passenger side.

well i did break the oil sending unit, it was completely in half even thought i was as careful as i could be. any ideas on what size socket to get it off? i tried the biggest ones i got and there either too big or small, is there special way to get this off.
