Default oil pressure sending unit

Is there an oil pressure sending unit that will screw into the factory location on a 2005 5.3L that will accept the stock wire harnes on an 87 blazer?

There might be an adapter out there somewhere, actually, i bet there is someone out there that sells something specific for it, might even be a regular adapter they found works and they sell it as something special when it is anything but just to get some money out of it.

Default Oil Pressure

I have to remeber to google stuff. I found this link
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/LS-Ser...ter,20928.html

This should work great.

I also found on ebay some stuff by typing in "LS oil pressure adapter"
there a nice sending unit with the one wire connector, that replaces the factory sender. Looks like a clean set up

I just drilled and tapped the factory sensor with an 1/8" pipe plug. Sensor screws right in now.
