ran into a problem.. the wire coming out of the temp sending unit broke right outside of the plug. i can get the piece that screws into the block at advance but i cant get the plug and wire anywhere.. im stumped. any help is greatly appreciated

 

try a junk yard i broke my Map sensor clip and the dealership wanted 40 bucks for just the clip.... i havent replace it yet cause my car is down lol

 

You can get replacement pig tails, but someone would have to know which temp sensor you are referring to in order to provide you with the right one. You can find some part numbers via the link in my sig.

 

can i use one out of a v6? there are no LT1s in any of the junk yards within 100 miles of this place..

 

You can use a pigtail out of any car as long as it is the same/correct connector.

 

is this what im looking for or is this referring to the piece in the head? http://shbox.com/1/temp_sensor2.jpg

 

That is the temp sensor and it's connector in the head, if that is the one you broke. Only you would know that.
