Default Oil Pressure sensor

Im helping my friend fix a 94 z28. He bought it from a kid who was trying to do some engine mods and got in too deep. The engine is still in the car but some of the sensors are miss. We need an oil pressure sensor but don't know what brand to get. Its a late 94 so the sensor is right below the egr.

Just get an oil pressure socket and use a swivel and an extension and you can get to it without removing anything

It's pretty easy to do. O/p socket, extension, ratchet. Aim from the direction of the brake booster along the firewall toward the sensor. Thread the new one on by hand and tighten back up with the socket.

Does anyone know where to get that gold block that threads into the motor? I didn't get one with my new motor and my old motor is long gone
