oil sender
I just did mine 2 weeks ago using the video as a guide. I used hemostats and a piece of rubber hose to guide the new sensor in. The key is getting the proper socket. I got mine from advance auto parts it is very thin and has two sizes 1 1/16 and 1 inch and its 3/8 drive, it gives you more room than 1/2 inch drive . I got the old one out and the new one in using the same socket....bend a coat hange to pull the connector. I took me 1/2 hour.....

And if you do remove the intake install a oil señor reelection kit while you have it off, and that will make it a 5 minute jib next time the sensor goes bad. Sensor are known to go bad quite often.

Thats how I would do it if I had the plastic intake manifold. With a supercharger, its a PITA to lift off. Might be worth trying this with a SC. Or as some has done, take the cowl cover off, hole saw a hole to take it out, and then the cowl cover will cover up the hole.

I did my 2002 vert but decided to drill a hole above the sender in the firewall cover below the wipers. No regrets and would do it again when my current C5 fails. There are videos showing how this is done. I'm not fond of removing manifolds, old hoses and plastic connectors.
