Default whats this sensor i broke? Pic inside

i was pulling some stuff off today, and unplugged this sensor on the side of the block, and when it came off, the plastic piece of the male-end came with it :p
the 3 metal prongs are still attached to the block
I need to know what it is, so i can order one from the local GM parts dealers
so...what is it?

click the thumbnail to view it, its a big pic so beware, dialups (500k)


edit: I made the pic smaller to help keep bandwidth down on me this month

If Im seeing that picture right, it should be the water temp sensor. Is it next to the number 1 spark plug...slightly above it to the left if you're looking at it from the drivers side of the car?
