Default Engine Wiring Harness Help

01 1500 2WD with 98 model 5.2L engine...

Finally got the new engine put in this weekend. I haven't fired it up yet because I still have a few minor things to get done, but I have a question dealing with the wiring harness...

On the driver side of the harness, I have all the injectors wired, the A/C compressor is wired and all the throttle body plugs are plugged in but I have one gray plug that I cannot find where it goes.

This was the first time I had pulled this engine and I thought I did a really good job of keeping up where everything went, but this alludes me.

The plug is approximately 3/4 of the way back on the driver side. Does any one know where this plug goes? I have checked the knock sensor (at least I think that is what that cylinder shaped doo-hitchie is at the back of the engine next to the distributor cap) and it is plugged up as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I think I made a beginner mistake. That doo-hitchie I referred to as a knock sensor, I believe that is the oil pressure sending switch.

I thought that would be located near the oil filter (as I read that somewhere on line), but as I searched "oil pressure sending unit" on autozone, it shows the exact same cylindrical shaped "doo-hitchie" I was referring to.

I found a picture of the wiring harness in the truck from before I removed everything. If I knew how to post a picture, I would post it..I searched the FAQ area but could not find out how to do it...
