I am trying to locate the connector for the "oil temp. sensor" So far, I have not had any luck. Any suggestions?

Jim, thanks for the link, but I dont see anything close on there. The connector is round, but it has 3 pins arranged in a triangular pattern.

Give Chris May a call at Superior Chevrolet. He was able to help me with connectors in the past.

Dave, I checked with my local dealer and they were of no help. If EFI does not have the connector, I will try Chris to see if he has some other source. And thanks for the tip.

I called Chris May about two months ago and bought the oil temperature sensor connector "pigtail" for my '92.
He had no problem finding it; he even had it in stock.

But, don't be too shocked by the price.
The "pigtail" was about 75% more than the oil temperature sensor itself.

OK, I heard back from EFI, and I am using copy and paste to show his e-mail.


We have the connector you need. It's available for $7.00 and $3.00
shipping Because it is not listed on our website, I can send a paypal
payment request. If you're still interested, please let me know the email
address to send the payment request to.

Thank you
Mike
EFI Connection



Again, thanks to everyone for your suggestions and I will repost when I receive it.

Just wanted to post that EFI-Connection shipped the connector to me. I received it yesterday. It plugs onto the new sensor perfectly and has pigtails about 8 in. long.
Cost was $7.00 + $3.00 shipping. I must say I am very happy with their service, they answered e-mails within a few hours everytime I sent them.
And a special thanks to Biggrizzy for recommending them.

That's one to keep in mind, I paid close to $45 for the same thing with about 3 foot pigtails at Superior Chevrolet.
