Default Sensor switch help

I would like to thank MikeR and GTR1999 for all their help and input in October last year. It was the front break run out that was so bothersome. Thank you both and the breaks seem just perfect! Now on to the next project.
The failed water pump has led to (as has been consistently the case) other areas needing attention. The issue though is the thermostat housing sensors. There are 2. One is the EFE TVS Sensor Switch. The other is the EGR Sensor Switch. The EGR TVS Sensor broke from just wiping out the inside of the thermostat housing.
I have found a replacement for the EFE for the thermostat housing and a replacement for the EGR Sensor for the manifold (might as well, right?) but I can't find anyone who has the EGR Sensor that is on the thermostat housing.
Has anyone found a supplier for this sensor? My last call was to docrebuild who said that the part is no longer available.
Thanks!

1978-1980 used the same EGR TVS switch.

Thanks bmotojoe! That was too easy. I wondered and asked about that. No one knew.

I realized I forgot to mention the year. 1979.
