Is there a particular reason you want the 'button' head sender. For an L98 the 'button' head was thought to have maybe only found it's way to the '90 very late in production. All LT5 spec'd the 'button' head but I believe the '91 is 1st year for L98. If your car actually had a 'button' head that connector will also/or should fit the spade that's a very easy find. Do the spade from a local vendor such as NAPA.

Jerry's generally has the 'button' head.
