Need connector for pass side coolant sensor

Howdy, well I guess my car is getting too old and I'm starting to break the brittle connectors as the car ages. I am currently seeking the single wire in-head coolant sensor on the passenager side. The vehicle is a 91 L98 auto (ish).

The coolent sensor connectors I see are two-wire units except
for one - is this what you are looking for?

If your temp sender is like mine, it's just an insulated female spade terminal.
If it is or isn't, most parts jobbers have or have access to most connectors on the vette.

That's the one. Same connector as knock sensor. Gets cooked from header heat.

The temp sender in front and the switch on the driverside head are spades, but this one is a pin connector.

From the replys it seems the 91 L98 is different. On my 86, the aux fan switch in driver side head is the mushroom connector(same as knock sensor connector) and the temp gauge sender in pass head uses a spade.
Can't GM keep anything the same.
