Default Help IDing this sensor....

.... so I can read up on replacing in the giant GM Service Manuals. It got smashed while trying to extract the starter motor. I really hate these Kooks headers with a passion now. What a huge pain in the **** everytime I try work on the car, and they are not easily removed.

I have spent a long time trying to ID the damaged senso using the GM Service manuals... - no joy.

It is the large hex-bolt/sensor next to the dipstick tube hole.

Thanks in advance.

What is the location exactly? What type of engine?
