Impala Balko

I needed a Oil Temperature Sensor/switch for my 94 LT1 corvette and the part was discontinued and I could not find it anywhere. I heard somewhere the LT5 sensor was compatible....well I learned it was not as the screw end of it is a 3/8" pipe thread when I needed a 1/4" pipe thread. I paid $30.00 shipped and that's all I want to get. It is a genuine AC Delco part that was recently purchased from a Chevy dealer online. GM Part # 10096181.
