Oil Pressure Sending Unit

Where is the best place to buy a new sending unit/sensor other than a Chevy dealer? (I shudder to think what one would cost from a dealer)

Also, what is the proper name for one of these things? I did a search for an oil pressure sending unit on the following websites: NAPA, Autozone, and O'Reilly's. Came up with zip.
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have also had problems finding one locally. The big parts houses (AutoZone, Advanced, Carquest, O'Reilly, Pep Boys, NAPA) don't stock them. I will look into Rockauto.com

It's brass and the OEM part is aluminum. Watch the installation torque and don't go much over 18 ft lbs (I think - might not be but 12)
