    Exclamation Oil pressure sensor?

    Im just about to fire up my 5.3 for the first time but i need to wrap up some details first. i need to get the right fitting to put my old oil pressure sensor into the new motor. does anyone know the exact fitting i need? otherwise all i really need to know is what is the size of the hole in a 2002 5.3 for the sensor so i can find the fitting?
