Default 93 need help re: oil pressure sender/sensor options

I am looking on Rock Auto right now, as so many sugguest on the forum. They have many different items shown - one of my sensor/senders is leaking and I want to replace, along with the other ( i am not sure of which is which...so i can't be sure i am ordering the correct parts). They show 1 with light, one with gauge, 2 0thers that list nothing?

Car is a 93, just want to make sure i replace correctly - i am in the process of replacing the clutch which is toast! also replacing rear main seal that is leaking along with one of the oil pressure (sensor/sender/switch) and the other one so i don't need to do it again!

On my '94, I ran into the same listings just last week. As best I can tell, the car uses both the gauge sending unit and the light sending unit.

There is a block that comes off the back of the motor that both sending units screw into. If you're standing on the driver side, look just below the wiper motor from the top, and you'll see them. The gauge sending unit is the one pointed upwards, and the light sending unit is the one pointing downwards I do believe.

Hope this helps.

Gixster, thanks, that does help somewhat, but does not help me decide which item to purcahse out of the lot of them...they all look similar and have such similar descriptions?
