Q on my (1993) caprice 350 replacement engine oil pan

I bought the caprice replacement engine for a base as my new TPI engine.

On the caprice oil pan what goes above the oil drain plug? I tried a few sensors and none would fit. I know a few people here own a caprice and can lead me to what goes there. I need to fill up that whole so I can put oil in the engine and prime the oiling system.

I think it's the oil level sending unit, I help a fellow 3rdgenner out who did this swap, and the sensor was actually in there, but as you know, our cars don't have the wiring for a sensor there, so just plug it.
