I believe this is the correct pigtail for the GM 12616646 sensor

Took off the eBay cheapie brass sensors today, and fitted the genuine GM 12616646 sensors.
The 150psi brass sensor checking oil was starting to leak around the outside. The other 150psi bass sensor of the fuel rail (E85) looked ok.

Im sure the GM sensor will work fine with oil, but fuel/ethanol is unknown... guess ill find out :P

Finally tracked down the sensors that I'd mentioned, after they vanished while moving.
I can test them if you're still interested, but it sounds like you found a solution.

The genuine GM 12616646 sensors are working great for fuel (e85) and coolant for me so far.

Finally had my brass one start leaking.

Good find on the gm sensor, assuming its 1/8npt?

Still need a decent ~500psi for my clutch line sensor thats resistant to brake fluid.

That might work: http://www.digikey.com/product-search/e ... 23-1141-ND. It might be a bit big being a 1/4NPT
