Default Max oil pressure after intake install?

After a great fight with the beast that is an LS1 equiped Z28, I thought I had my Holley intake all hooked up and working properly. Now my oil gauge is maxed out! Anyone have any ideas what is wrong? Is this maybe the oil pressure sensor, should it have a plug going into it, I thought I saw a loose plug at one point, then a few minutes later couldn't find it! It was a plug with 1 wire going out of it?

Black thing standing vertical on the drivers side rear corner on top of the engine just behind the intake manifold.

Probably unplugged?

Breaking the sensor off = Zero reading...

Not plugging connector in sensor = Max reading...

Getting it right on your 1st try = priceless...

I snapped my sensor off & have yet to replace
it after one year... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
