Sensor location info request

Have a 92 Camaro 305 TBI. Can anyone please identify the sensor, which is located in the right side (passenger) cylinder head between the number 6 and 8 spark plugs? I have broken the electrical connector, which mates with it. If you know whether this can be purchased from an aftermarket parts store, that info would also help.
Thanks : Pete

This is a temperature sensor that controls the electric fan. It is seperate from the coolant sensor on the intake that sends coolant temperatures to the gauge in the ****pit.

I broke the connector too while changing spark plugs and my engine quickly began to overheat. I managed to get it back together so I didn't have to buy a new one, sorry.

Hope this helps,

Jason

Great. That has to be it. A chevrolet parts dealer thought it may be the same thing. I had picked up a knox sensor, which a Pontiac dealer suggested because it looked to be the same connection. Turns out the knox and the temperture sensor use the same connector, which I now have so should be good to go.

Thanks
Pete
