Oil pressure gauge not working after header install..

Got the car running after installing headers and the oil pressure gauge is no longer working. I cant seem to find where the sensor is located on the engine to make sure its plugged in. Ive looked everywhere, but im missing it?

If you jacked up the engine during your header work, you might have broken the sensor against the firewall.

Re: Oil pressure gauge not working after header install..

I did jack it up, several times...Thats probably exactly what happened. Will I be able to see this, or will I have to feel to see if its broken. Or should I just go buy one and replace? Is this somthing ill have to order from Chevy or can I get at an autoparts store? THANKS!

An auto parts store or dealer would have one.
