Oil pressure dummy light! I need help on finding a plug ASAP!!

[ryno]

I searched and found nothing. I was driving today and noticed my oil pressure flat lined to ZERO. So i took the car home, and to my surprise oil was all over. I jacked the car up and it appears as the oil dummy light device that goes into the oil filter housing has fallen out. It is not the sending unit. Just the dummy light.

so my question is what thread pitch is it? does anyone know? so i can buy a plug for it at the local hardware store. thanks
please help

just go buy the new sensor its like 10 bucks at murrays or autozone. if you replace it the light will stay on.

forgot to add. My unit was not hooked up anyways, i just had the sensor in to keep from leaking. Thanks i will try them, but if anyone knows the plug size, id obviously rather spend 1$ over 10$.
thanks

oh well in that case its 1/8 npt pipe thread. home depot racing will have it or any good hardware store. ofcoarse make sure you use thread sealent on it or red locktite.
