Need a connector (helphelp)

I managed to snap the wire that goes to the thing-a-majig behind the FPR. The metal piece that goes into the connector is chewed up, in fact it's gone. I need to know where to get another one. Advance and Autozone just give me confused looks.

I'd prefer to not replace the entire switch because I'm sure its linked to about a million other wires that will cost me a small fortune.

Do you mean the oil pressure sensor, screwed into the block behind the rear edge of the intake manifold?

Sho nuff.

Pic #1 What I'm talking about slides into the bottom center hole
Pic #2 is the bottom center. And yes, that is an autographed picture of Mr. Rogers next to my Diploma in the background.

The connector for the oil pressure switch is GM PART # 12085499 and is ACDelco #PT121. It may come with more wires than the one you need. Just ignore or remove the others.

Awesome! Thanks man. I don't know where you keep coming up with part numbers because I couldn't find that one anywhere. Hopefully that'll get it. That wire is costing me $20
