Default Cant plug in cam sensor need Help what to do ?

Ok car is a 06 GTO with a ls2 the stock cam sensor Was on the front top of timing cover.

Engine was replace with a 427 Warhawk with the cam sensors in timing cover but a add extension that moved the plug to the bottom of timing cover by oil pan. THE PLUG ON THE WIRE WONT PLUG INTO THE PLUG NOW. With all the superchanger piping and everthing on front of motor i cant see the sensor on the top of timing cover ?

What do i do is it the wrong sensor ? or some wrong extension ? IS THERE ANOTHER EXTENSION I CAN BUY ? i dont want to rip motor out again.

You cant remove the extension bolted to the timing cover?

If not, mod the connector that needs to go into the extension level with the bottom of the block.

You can mod the connector. It needs some "key" cutouts on it to fit the connector on the extension harness.

If you get a torch and look up into the connector from below, you should see the shape of these. There are two.

Its a real pain that all the connectors have these different key configurations, but I am guessing the OEM's do it so they cant be got wrong on the production line.

That extension must be for the fbodys. I had the exact opposite problem you did. I tried to plug mine into the top connector. Wouldn't work until I notched it, but still could never get it to "click". So I'm still using the extension.
