What is this?

Oil pressure sending unit. They are often broke when working on intake. You also need a special socket to remove/replace.

Yep, that's the oil pressure sender sensor. I broke mine just like that when upgrading to the FAST 92mn LSx air intake manifold and throttle body on our WS6. Didn't notice until I put everything back together, and the gauge read 0 oil pressure on the dash. Had to re take ALL OF IT OFF, replace it (with a special socket), and put it all back together. It was annoying, but I got pretty good at doing the manifold by that point. lmao

Thanks guys. Interesting, my engine is all after market. Transplant to a 61 Impala. I apparently don't need it as I have an oil pressure gauge and it works. I built it 10 years ago so I don't remember where the sender is. Good to know I don't need to use it. Thanks for the help.
