Sensor behind timing cover 5.8l?

During my timing cover gasket replacement on a 1994 F350, 5.8L,, I noticed a sensor with one wire coming off it, located behind the cover. Does anyone know the name of this sensor and/or the Motorcraft part number? I would rather replace it now when it's easy to get then later on.

One going straight down into the intake?
That is a temperature sensor you are looking at, with one wire?

It's below the intake. With one wire, it has to be something related to a dummy light. I wonder if it's not an oil pressure sensor.

Drivers side almost in line with the oil filter?
Then yes it's the oil pressure sensor.
