Whats this called?
I'm assuming its a temp sensor for the glow plug to hook up to. Its on the drivers side and screws into the front of the cylinder head. I broke of the pin on my old engine's and the new engine didnt have it when i bought it so i'm looking to buy one, can i get it at Napa, or is it an ebay/internet type deal.

Some of those at parts stores have two or more pins.
They will not work.
If you find a single pin, you should be good to go.
As said above, that one is just a switch, it only turns the overheat light on.
Glow plugs and gauge are not affected, no other system is affected either.
