Default Sensor behind the intake manifold

What sensor is behind the intake manifold, and sticks into the engine facing downward. I forgot to post this before I came to work so I don't have a picture to show. I'm not talking about the MAP sensor, its closer to the driver's side of the car than the MAP. It looks like a black tube and it sticks straight downward into the engine. I somehow managed to break this while I was taking the LS1 intake off for an LS6. Thanks.

OPSU. oil pressure sending unit. you should have done your research before pulling the intake. it's a very common mistake and it's easily avoided.

Make sure you have the Oil sender Socket to install it with. Having the right tools could keep you from delaying your project more. Ask me how I know
