1990 Firebird 305 TBI coolant sensor help please

Hi guys, I've got a 305 Firebird TBI and my coolant sensor has gone bad, it reads 28K ohms so the car thinks it's -40 degrees and runs mega rich, I've fitted a 330 ohm resistor across the plug and it runs sweet so I need a new sensor.

The problem is I'm in England and parts are kinda hard to get and there seems so many different ones available. Does anybody know the part number I need so that i can cross reference it against a Bosch/Delco in my local auto parts store.

Many thanks
Paul

Best thing to do is look it up at rockauto.com. They might even ship to the UK for a reasonable cost.
