1983 Z28 - 305 Crossfire - Sensor Question

Hello,

I have a 83 Z28 with the 305 Crossfire dual TBI Engine. What is the sensor in the fornt of the intake? The one right behind the alternator that has 2 wires (black and yellow I think).
Does anyone have a picture of a stock 305 like mine showing some of the wire/hose routing etc?
Thank you for all your time.

If its the same as my 5.0 HO, which it sounds like it is, thats the CTS (coolant temp sensor for the ECM). Is it in the coolant crossover?

It is actually in the intake. I will try to post a picture.

Does anyone know how the EGR solonoid snaps into the metal holder on the intake?
I think that is right!

That's the coolant temp sendor that the ECM uses

The EGR solenoid, I'm not sure what you mean, I know the metal bracket comes off as I have done this to use the soleboid as an EVAP solenoid (they are the same except for the bracket)

Sorry, Maybe that is it. I need to recouperate since I replaced the stock fuel filter last night. CRAZY LOCATION! OH the brown crud that came out! No wonder nothing was running right.
