Default Broken Sensor..........

I am in the middle of swapping out my manifold for a Ls6. After getting everything out, I noticed a sensor snapped in half. It is on the block itself and sits vertical right behing the manifold. Can someone please tell me what that sensor is??? Thanks!

People should post up when they don't break this sensor. It would save a lot of disk space.

What size socket would it take to remove it? Want to replace it with an idiot light, since I already have a gauge installed.

Breaking it off solely to get a shorty socket on it, would offend my sense of neatness.
