Answer me this
Why in the world are the oil pressure senders on LS1s made out of the cheapest plastic ever??? i broke my stock one and a brand new A/C Delco one. I feel like my brain is going to explode, this is the only thing keeping me from finishing my ls6 intake swap.

Who the hell needs to know about oil pressure?
Put some JB weld over the hole and start driving!
