Broke water sending unit during header install

Yeah, on my 96 Z while taking off the manifolds I broke the sender located on the driver side mid section of the block. Where do I get a new one ? By the way, I always wondered why guys had to jack up the block, etc to fit the headers. NOW I KNOW WHY. 96 Camaro with emssisions fittings=Total hell. I chose hacking the shi* out the car with a sawzaw than jacking up the motor.

The dealer will have a sensor. The auto parts places often sell the wrong one for the head.

I cut the emissions out of mine. Luckily, I didn't use a saw or jack the motor up.

What header brand did you end up going with? My Mac setup fit effortlessly.

I've heard of problems with LPP and with the Stainless kits that are sold on ebay.
