Default 72 GTO 455 HO temperature sending unit question

What does the correct temp sending unit look like on a 1972 455 HO GTO with rally gauges? Anyone have a new one? Thanks.

Thanks Forrest! I think I may already have one on hand. I was finding applications for 67-71 but nothing that said 72.

After doing some digging in my parts, I found a nice original on the shelf. It is different than the inexpensive ones on eBay. It has numbers stamped upside down just below the hexagonal part. The cheap new ones are similarly shaped but do not have any stamped numbers. Thank for everyone's help.
