Would that be the smaller Oil Press. Sensor like in the Trucks, and it uses the Connectors like on the TPS?

I've never heard of it having a Temp Sensor built into it, unless that is for Oil Temp..

I figure the middle wire would be your signal wire like the single one on the LS1 Harnesses, but I could be wrong.

I hope someone has some insight to this as well, cause I would like to know.

May be a little too high. Atleast you can't break the Truck ones as easily..

It is much bigger, and the raised part of the valley cover only makes it taller. It looks goofy but it works. I called TSP about this when I was dealing with it, they said it is a direct swap

the ls1 f-body sensor threaded right into the ls2 valley cover with no problems. it just sits about an 1 1 1/2 inch higher and looks funky but it clears the cowl panel just fine.

no do not cut it down, it's actually better that way IMO. you can see the sensor easier when you pull the intake off so you have a less chance of breaking it like some people do. also its easier to change out the sensor if it goes bad.
