bummer..... so it sounds like your car is coming alomg nicley.....

and off topic but people who rev there stock bottom ends to 6500+ got *****. i'd never seen the stock bottom end before, it looks like ****.
remeber, im the guy who left my limiter set at 6200 and you thought that i should rev it higher???

im no pro but ive seen about 15 different ls1 motors in different stages of assembley
including a few C5R blocks ( damn there nice ) and like you say, after seeing the stock rods and bolts, i knew when i got my cam it was staying at 6200.....
even if i am leaving 10hp on the table!

anyway..... cant wait to hear your car..... keep us posted on your progress.....
oh, and stop breaking stuff man..... WTF.

I have a 99 and just broke mine off.

My sending unit had one male connector. The parts people at chevy said that the newer models had two male connectors. I had to special order to get the one male conector sensor. The part # for the one male connector sending unit is 12562267

The two male conector model part number is 12085500

I paid $32

Spinning a stock bottomed motor to 6500 isn't that bad. Spinning a stock bottomed motor to 6500 when it has 500+rwhp will come back to haunt you.

"I have a 99 and just broke mine off.

The two male conector model part number is 12085500"

And from page 1 of this post comes part # 12559781

On SPDC

12559781 is a sensor

12562267 is a sensor AS

Which part # is it really?

Great, I got my sensor today and it's part # 12573107

Found a reference to the part # on a vette forum; looks like it's a sender for a 2000 Coupe Vette.

Can I still use it? I'll have to see if it looks like my old busted one.

I know it doesn't look like the one in the picture:

Found this tonight

12562267

From https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...light=12557752

And attached is a pic of my new sensor and old. The new is on the left, it has 3 prongs in the electrical portion. The old sensor has 1 prong.

Shep, you were right , I'll have to send this one back and get 12562267.

Hmmm, I think you're just used to seeing a forged bottom end, otherwise, I think you just didn't change the oil enough.

On another note, alot of LT1 people are spinning 6500+ at over 100k with no problems. Yeah there are many who spin bearings doing that, but there are many who haven't too. LS1's are stronger, so I don't see why there is even an issue with 6500 unless you're putting down over 600rwhp on an LS1 over 100k unless the oil was never changed on it.

I just broke mine too I can see why they redesigned it. And I have a spare "new style" sensor but it won't plug into my harness. What are the two additional pins for? I wonder if the new sensor can be spliced into the old style harness somehow? There would be two wires not functional but maybe they aren't necessary???
