Default Front 1x GTO cam sensor?

Is there a difference in the front cam sensor of the early GTO's? Some early 2005 LS2 motors were 24x/1x setups using the front cam sensor location. Can't find a part number for the early 1x cam sensor and all online retailers show all the from cam sensors as the same part number. GM changed voltage when they went from the 1x to the 4x too. I've read that the 4x sensor will work. Looking for a definite answer if anybody knows.

I found pictures of an 2005 GTO LS2 engine teardown and it had a 1x cam sprocket and a BLACK cam sensor on the front cover. Does anyone know the part number of this sensor. Online retailers all show the same part numbers and at least reference the same picture of the greyish/tanish sensor. Thanks.

Crank sensors are different. Don't know about VVT covers but aside from that, according to Rock Auto, front cover cam sensors all have the same part number from 2005 thru 2013.

And all the cam and crank sensors will work on 5v or 12v

Thank you for all the input. I've come to the conclusion too that all front sensors are the same. As stated above, RockAuto and most other retailers list only one front sensor. Napa's sensor is black but the part number crosses to ACDelco 213-3826 and GM 12591720.

We use LS2 front covers with LS2 cam sensors on the 1x cam gear all the time. Works just fine!
