No oil pressure reading on your gauge cluster.

It pretty much broke from the bottom. I can take a picture real quick and show you.

Would this be a simple swap if I buy a new sensor?

No need for a picture b/c the sensor is f'd.

Simple swap with the socket you have to buy from Advance or Autozone. It's about a $9 socket.

So, there's a "special" tool needed for this install?

By the way, does anybody know the part number for the oil sending unit?

Thanks!

One more quick question. Has anybody ever tried installing that oil sensor unit while the intake manifold is already installed????

No, don't even try. It's next to impossible. It only takes 20 minutes to pull the manifold.

GM Part #: 12562267

Ok, I wish just trying to save some time. But, if it's that difficult I'll just remove the intake manifold, which really doesn't take too much time.

thanks for the info.
