Default AC Delco Oil Pressure Sensor Part Number?

Looks like my oil pressure sensor, the one to the gauge, is a bit whacky. I know there are two different ones, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right one.

Is this a generic GM part, or is it specific to the LT5? Is there a Napa replacement number for it too, if it is generic?

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

However, My car is currently in sickbay, so I was hoping to pick one up locally.

FWIW:
I replaced mine a few years ago, due to the usual leakage at the electrical connection.
Went thru 3 of them (Delco) before I was happy... Compared to the original unit,
the 1st read low, the 2nd read high and the 3rd, which I used, was about the
same as the original.
The electrical oil pressure gauge is just an approximation, (that's why there's no real numbers/scale on the dash gauge) the best way to check is with a mechanical gauge...

Hmmmm.... Sounds like Goldielocks and the 3 bears! "This one to low. Then to high. But this one is juuuuust right! (Sorry. Haven't had my first cuppa coffee yet - feeling easily amused...)

How big a difference was there between the three?
