Default 1981 Oil sensor question


I have a 1981 305 motor in my Camaro. There is a OIL sensor that threads into the block low above the pan and forward of the starter in my car. I am looking to replace it but having a hard time finding the part. i will try to post a pic. The wires don’t connect anymore. Thanks for any input. B

That's a knock sensor, not an oil sensor.

Thanks guys, no computer anymore. I really want to replace the 305, but for now it runs well.

Then don`t worry about it .Treat like a 1979 and or earlier car. I have done that on my 1981 El Camino SS
