original oil pressure sensor
Most of them are only used to input to the BCM for OEM Gauges.. Most will just replace it with an aftermarket Gauge/sender. So unless your using the BCM and Gauges from the Donner car. Your better off with a aftermarket setup.

I use an old school mechanical oil gauge. I was trying to figure out how to make it work. I pulled the electronics out of the core of the factory oil sender and lo and behold, the hole was exactly the right size for the oil tube from my gauge! I cleaned everything up real good and put a dab of JBWeld on there and it works perfectly!

I use the stock one in back of the block for the computer. Then on the bottom rear of the block next to the oil filter there is a bypass. I built my own adapter, but you can drill and tap or buy one from S&P for whatever gauges you want.

Yes it will work. The 98's were wired directly to the gauges. Supposedly the aftermarket sending units are more accurate. You can also do a search and get an adapter kit for the sending units. I think it was Rockauto that sold a package of adapters for everything for about $10 or less delivered. They covered the oil, and water fittings with a number left over.

Actually, the 98-02 Fbody and 99-06 trucks used the single wire sender compatible with just about every stock gauge and most aftermarkets. The 3 wire units are actually pressure sensors meant to be ran to a controller to decode and output the value on a serial data stream
