intake torque

I'm replacing the oil pressure sender for the 3rd time. I lost my notes which had the intake manifold torque settings written down. (2000 C5) Could some one pass on the info?:

Thanks,

torque the oil pressure sensor to 15 ft-lbs and make sure you clean any oil out of the harness or you will be changing the sensor again

I've seen a suggestion to torque the sensor to 12 ft.-lbs. instead of 15.....the thinking being that, in addition to excess oil on connections, too much torque also contributes to pre-mature / early sensor failure.
