damn man we warned you to be extra patient back there... I believe you need a 1 1/16 socket to remove the old OSU (big *** socket). I picked up a new one from AZ for like $40. It's not a big deal. gl

The make a socket just for gm oil pressure sending units at oriley for 10 or 11 bucks. What I do when I change intakes is leave the socket on the pressure unit untill you have the intake set. Then I remove the socket. That method has never let me down!

I need to use your method.. That sounds like a good idea so I'll have to buy me this socket once I install the new KS and harness
