On page 37 of that online catalog, you'll see the connector - part number 85180.
You should be able to go to Advance, Autozone, Oreilly's, whatever and have them order it for you. They will have to look it up in their paper catalogs, so talk to a manager not just the $8 an hour '***-ociate' behind the counter.
These are Dorman parts - all the parts stores carry Dorman parts, so whether or not they know it, they can special order Dorman parts.
Or, yank one at the local JY.

Re: need help with oil pressure sending unit connector .
What youre talking about is just a spade connector. Get one from your local parts store. They have them with a nylon jacket for insulation. Or did you save the rubber boot? You may be able put that back on the connector, if you get the connector without the nylon cover.

true , true ,though the nylon boot is stuck on the spade connector along with the female input , should the boot come off easy or should it be a struggle , because its a srtuggle and wont come off.

Just cut it off, crimp a new ¼" slide terminal on the wire, and move on.
Go to the parts store and look at a new one, and match it up with the terminals hanging in the Electrical aisle. You'll see it's a ¼" slide.
Not sure about "struggle"... never had that happen. All I know is what it IS, not how somebody else's ACTS.
