Oil Pressure Switch Question
I need to change my oil pressure switch. Do I need to drain my coolant before I remove the intake manifold? Thanks Rick

No, search for procedures. You only have to slide the manifold forward a little.
Do clean the connector of any oil and use only 15 ft-lbs torque or you will be replacing it again. Some people think NAPA's part is better than GM's.

As for re-torquing the manifold follow the instructions at the bottom page of this website.

If you don't have an inch pound torque wrench it is very handy to have. They run about $50 bucks.
