seeking for an oil pressure switch. (original)

i've spent almost three entire weeks looking for a oil pressure switch for a 1988 v-6 2.8 L chevy camaro i got last month. i ordered one from pep boys, but it didn't fit, now im down to the junk yards looking for one. if anyone knows where to buy one, i would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
thankx _Brian

I go to rockauto.com for a lot of parts. They probably have the switch you need.

well i dunno if you have the same problem i just had, i have a 91 3.1 and bought a oil pressure switch for a 91 3.1 but the shaft was too long and the threads were too big.. so i went to advance and looked up a 89 2.8 switch, it was smaller and was the correct switch.. if the switches you find are too small.. look for a 3.1 1991 switch.. its bigger..
hope this helps.. let me know

Or I have one sitting in my garage... stock from my 87... Can't use it with my 3.1 and have a working gauge at the same time, so I pulled it. Is it the 2 or 3 wire unit? I have 1 of each.
