They should have all the senders there at the store. I'd go down and see if they can match what you have. My experience with oil senders is that chevy used whatever they had laying around. All sorts of odd fittings but only a couple senders. Especially on the 2.8's. Ugh. S10's seemed to be particularly prone to randomness.

Ok where is the sender at? Do I need a special tool to remove?

Thanks Smile

Is it TPI? Mine was on the drivers side of the distributor. No tools needed beyond an open end wrench, 5/16 or 10mm or something.

Word. Its back there and sometimes hard to reach. make sure you don't loosen the adapters.

The hole points straight up. There usually is a 90* adapter to send the sender towards the firewall. Driver side of distributor. You may have to take the dizzy off to get to it.
