Replaced oil pressure sender

[SilverSHO]

Aside from being something of a PITA to get to, it's not too difficult to replace. Removing the Y-pipe would've made the job a bit easier, but not enough, I don't think, to justify the extra time and work necessary to pull it off. And I'm fairly certain it was where the oil was leaking because I didn't see any evidence of oil leaking above it.

I have a question, though. I got it screwed into the block easily enough, but I can't figure out how to screw the connector back on to it. The ends of the sender itself are threaded in opposite directions, i.e., when I put the sender in the block, the connector unscrewed itself. How do I get it connected? This is the only thing preventing me from taking the car off the jackstands.

I did the same thing on my SHO this weekend. When you said the connector you were talking about the electrical one right? It just pushes on. You shouldn't have to screw it on...

You just push it back on. The reversed threads are what holds it on.

Ditto. Just push the connector back on. Same goes for the Temperature sending unit. I just added aftermarket gauges, and th eoil and temp were both like this.
