early 90s had a 3 or 4 wire since the oil pressure switch and sender were combined; I don't think that was in an 87 though. An 87 gauge sender might be bell shaped with a single spade connector going to the driver's side wiring (ECM doesn't receive oil pressure signal) or another item tapped into the oil passages is a switch which has the 12pt. exterior rib, two spade prongs. You're almost there!
