Default oil pressure gauge is pegged

I just finished my ls6 manifold install on my 98 and now my oil pressure gauge is pegged. I was careful with the brake booster hose but it ended up pulling pretty hard on the top connector wires. I unplugged the connector and both wires look like they're still secure. Somehow it must be grounding out. Anybody else had this problem?

I found the problem. One of the wires going to the oil pressure sender was stretched so far the wire broke inside the insulation. I just cut out the connector and shortened the wire and spliced it back in.

I was going to say it is either broken or there is a wiring issue somewhere. Glad to see you got it fixed.
