What did I just break?

Is this the oil pressure sensor?

Thats the oil level sensor, the pressure sensor is the one thats on the back by the intake manifold

Looks like it. Yours is a 1993 or early 1994?

No, you can clearly see the level sensor on the pan in that picture.

Lol, I assumed it was the thing hanging down. I guess it needs clarification.

Yeah, the thing hanging down, the rest of it is in the block. It's a 94. I'm guessing there's a connector inside this insulator?

There should be a wire/connector going to the op sensor that is located just above the oil filter on the side of the block.

Yes it is the oil pressure sensor. I broke mine too, so don't feel bad. Pull that insulator back and you will see it. I don't remember if I got a new one at Autozone or dealer only.

Thanks for the help guys, I broke it installing some headers. Also broke the coolant temperature sensor connector when removing it . I guess plastic gets brittle 14 years later!!

when replacing it make sure to get the correct one. there are two different part numbers between the PCM temp sensor (in the waterpump) and the one tapped into the side of the head. shoebox has the part numbers on his page.

I broke mine 3 times. I don't mess with it enough to remember how to take it off. It seems to break very easy. It broke once with my Header install.(8 yrs ago) 2. When I built the 383 (4 yrs ago)and 3. Just last month for a tear down of my current set-up.
