Oil Temp sensor
Prior to purchasing my car the previous owner dropped a new engine into the car. During this process the "oil temp sensor' was broken. I have a new sensor that I bought a few months ago from local chevy dealer and I am now ready to install. I have been waiting to time this change with a oil change and now is the time... Has anyone changed one of these out before? Any suggestions?

Yeah.............it's a little tight back there. Some remove the wiper arm motor and others remove the distributor to get at it. I opted for the latter. Pretty straight forward R&R once your in there. I did put some liquid thread sealer around the threads before re-assembly.

Don't have the service manual for the 94 but I have changed the oil temp sensor on my 90.
During this next oil change, remove the filter, and look above the filter mount assembly. There may well be a couple of wires going into the filter mount. Not really sure if GM moved the sensor but would bet only one beer they didn't.
As a note, I would make every effort to secure a Helms Factory Service Manual. If you have too, sell some furniture, I know I'd miss my manual more than say, the cooking untensils.
Have a good week.
