i chanced it and almost blew my engine! don't chance it

 

Its so that you know the engineers designed the car/motor and not the mechanics, lol.

 

couldnt all this be avoided by removing the brake booster vacuum hose from the back of the intake before pulling it off? Seems like this is a very common problem that easily avoided....

 

i broke one on my dads car when i installed a ls6 intake, he drove on for a few miles and the oil burst through the diaphram and leaked everywhare!! i switch out the sensors with the intake on before and it's not to bad, the hardest part is finding thr connecter to sanp it back in

 

I was very careful after reading up on the manifold swap but couldn't get the brake booster hose off the manifold. I wiggled the manifold out to get to the back and the hose stretched the wires to the op sending unit. They didn't break in half but the wire inside the insulation was broken. I managed to splice the wires and it worked again. If your sending unit doesn't look broken see if the wires are stretched or broken.

 

I relocated mine after breaking it..... used braided line... screwed it in and then tied the sending unit to the end of the line. Just a thought. Works great.
