The other booboo I did was jack the car up with the hood open and forgot about the garage door overhead... I NEVER forget about this, but I did today. I scratched the passenger side point of the hood and chipped the fiberglass a bit. That really pisses me off more than the oil sender.
Goes to show that you can't let your guard down ever when doing this kind of work. I'd been really pissed if someone else did this to my car!!
I'll be taking it to the machine shop later in the week.
How about posting a photo of the broken one. I have a brand new, never been installed ACDELCO sender/sensor I bought from GM last year but I didn't need.
It's the shorter of the two but doesn't have a part number on it.
My son's 96 Vette has two mounted at the back of the block we replaced one of them but didn't need to on the other other.
So if you need the one I have, and it'll work for you, you can get it for a LOT less than $100. If you'd prefer to buy your own, no problem, I'll just leave mine in one of my wall storage boxes.
