Which Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

Hey, everyone.
I made sure to search the forums before I started this thread and unless I flat missed it (which is possible), I could not find what I was looking for.
I have an ‘86 Z with the LB9, TPI 305. The oil pressure gauge jumps and flips while I drive and at idle. Looking for an oil pressure sending unit. I’ve checked all the usuals - Rockauto, Summit, Hawks, etc. I have not been able to specifically locate which part I need, all of their sites seem to be a little vague. Can anyone point this guy in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Stay away from the AC Delco, I had 2 leak and one literally as soon as I installed it. The Wells I have now works great and actually shows pretty accurate oil pressure readings verified by a mechanical gauge. I believe the Wells is also sold under Carquest brand at Advance.
