3rd looks like the air temp sensor, screws into the UIM on the bottom center of it.

In picture one, that is not an FD oil pressure sending unit. Both screw into the driver's side of the rear engine iron.

The blue AIT sensor seals with a copper crush washer.

Blue sensor is not an FD air intake sensor but may be a water thermo sensor from another make or model that will work at different temp. Sensor on the air intake is narrow and the stick is a non metal black material.

Goodfella is right that's not a stock oil pressure sensor but it may work.

The oil pressure sensor is from an FC, the water temp sensor with it is very likely an '89-91 FC part.

Hard to say on that air intake temp sensor, that's a weird angle the pic is at.

I just replaced my air intake sensor, it looked exactly like that and I got it from Ray. Here is my old one, the plug is exactly the same except green, the new one was blue.

the big one is oil press sending unit, the small one is the the water temp for your gauge inside and the blue one should be the air intake because i have bunch of blue ones on all my uim. the green are either for your water temp sensor and fuel temp sensor.

I removed both oil pressure and water temp sensors from my FD. I guess the PO put in FC parts. As far as the air intake temp sensor, that's actually a brand new part from Autozone. I asked for a "coolant temp sensor" and that's what they gave me. It looked a little odd to me that's why I posted. I just returned it yesterday.

Thanks everyone for their help figuring out my mystery. The PO simply just swapped the first 2 sensors with FC parts.
