I have a 91 SHO and I’m needing help locating a OEM/aftermarket part, a oil level sensor, Part #E6FZ-6C624-A. If anyone knows where one is or if a aftermarket part exists that would be very helpful.

FORD Oil Level Sensor (89-95)
This is the sensor that controls the "check oil" light on your instrument panel. This sensor should turn the "check oil" light on when you are approxinmately 1-1.5 quarts low. If your light does not come on at low oil levels (and your dash light works), your sensor has probably failed. Also...

Oil Level Sensor Gasket (89-95)
If your low-oil sensor functions correctly, but leaks around the edges, you probably only need a new gasket. If it leaks from the wire connection, you need a new sensor also. This sensor is located on the right (rear) side of the oil pan on an MTX and the left (front) side of the oil pan on an...

You won't find any direct fit sensors. None left in dealer inventory, no aftermarket alternative. Having said that, it seems that SHO Source has at least one at the moment, but didn't have any a while back:
shosource.com
If they don't have one, people have successfully repaired them with gasket sealer around the pin. Or you could do this, as I just did. Buy the following:
https://www.autozone.com/electrical...st-sensor-su8832/631476_0_0?searchText=SU8832 and make it fit.
The f l a n g e (damn censors!!) will be too big, not only to clear the fins on the oil pan, but also to fit over the lip of the gasket. The sensor thread and pin size are fine. Note that this is actually a Ford part, just not for the SHO.
Paint the underside of the f l a n g e with mechanics blue. Slide the gasket over and turn it so that it marks the blue and you can see how much of the f l a n g e to take off. Use a dremel tool / cutting wheel to rough cut as much off as you can, then use a die grinder to grind it round by clamping the die grinder in place and rotating the f l a n g e against the side of the grinding wheel until the gasket fully seats on the f l a n g e. It took me 30 minutes.
