Those are easy, really....
the sensor in question is a coolant sensor. Just call your gm dealer and they have them. It's a common part.
The bolt? Jeez, dude... remove one you already have and march your *** down to the local True Value and get a match. It ain't rocket science.

The bolt isn't even listed in my parts book. It shows in the illustration, but it has no key number. When I looked in the groups covering the lifters and the retainer, the bolt wasn't listed. As Bogus said, just plain old hardware.
The "sensor" that screws into the left side cylinder head, in an '87, is the axillary fan switch, part number, 14043276.

If you need four of a bolt, try to give a better discription of where it (they) goes.

Yes, you probably only need three, but the description in the parts book says four, and four washers. These are the ones that hold the spider down, which is what I figured he was asking for. I got the P/N's from my GM Performance Parts catalog, p. 72, where it describes the roller lifter kit. When I bought my roller block sans spider and bolts, I ordered the pieces I needed from this section and what I got was what I needed... The 24501365 bolts are what I am currently using to hold down the lifter spider. And yes, I only used three... although there's a half a hole at the end of the spider and another boss on the block that isn't used. Maybe on a race engine?

A temperature sensor is a thermistor. The voltage varies with the temperature and causes a gauge to show a varying, and (somewhat) proper, reading. The fan switch isn't a sensor. It is a switch. The fan is either on or off.
If your gauge had only two readings, cold and not so cold, and you had a variable speed motor running your fan, you could interchange the two, and you could have your SENSOR running your fan..

My parts book says:
"Group 1.055-Bracket-bracket Kit-Fan Kit-Fan PKG-Motor Kit-Nut-Relay-Retainer-Screw Kit-Switch, Engine Air cooling(Electrical)
86-89 Y (5.7-8)W/B4P....14043276 1 $9.66 SWITCH, Eng Cool High Temp Fan Cont"
You can call it whatever you want. It's function determines what it is. Are you familiar with the quote from Abraham Lincoln that starts out, "If you call a tail a leg..."?

Ya, well, I guess netiquitte just isn't what it used to be...
sorry im just busy putting the engine back together. and what i should have asked was if any of you know the specs on the bolt, to aid me in going through the hardware shops millions of drawers of bolts/nuts.
and yes i did get handled in the 1st/2nd post. didnt mean for you guys to battle eachothers e-ego's
