I just made an odd discovery. While looking for something in my Z stash I found my original OEM CAMSHAFT SENSOR. There is a guy on Facebook that had an oil leak in this area. In this post on Facebook somebody mentioned they had the same leak and replaced it with the identical sensor that cost $38.00 shipped to my door. Other than 1727 printed under the main part number of 55505-00-02-A
When I replaced mine a few years ago I could only find an AIRTEX replacement and it was $200. GM hasn't had these for a few years now. Is it possible I may have found the deal of the century? Mouser has this for $28.00 with free shipping. I couldn't get the the order straight so I bought one for $38.00 shipped. A revision is in order,this part isn't an exact drop in replacement. I was going to look into this but got side tracked and never got back to it.
