Installing map sensor

I just ordered a 2 bar map sensor and noticed it is alot bigger then the stock map sensor and also has a different style connector. Did I order the wrong sensor? It said it was "GM STYLE" Any advice on the best way to put this in if its the correct one? Also will I need a diff pig tail?

If both the plug and the hole size is wrong something's not right. Call the vendor to see if it's for a "LS style" intake.

Map sensor is on the back of the intake manifold next to big vac line going to the break booster. If you havent removed your intake before you've probly never seen.

just leave stock one in the intake and tee the vacuum line for the HVAC controls that is what i did
and either buy the adapter harness(highly suggested to make life easier) think FROST sells them? there are a few sponsors here that sell them
or use the plug and switch the two wires when putting harness together.
