Congratulations! Maybe you should take up Saab repair as a side job.
The oil pressure sensor should have an L-shaped spade lug riveted to its top, coming off straight up. If it's not there it probably got snapped off.
You could swap sensors with the other car, but I think they're just about universal and you can get a replacement at an auto parts store. The threaded part is also tapered so as it tightens down it gets snugger; don't tighten too hard as everything is soft metal.
The too-poor-to-buy-one, stuck way out in the country repair would be, managing to solder a wire onto the top of the sensor, by cleaning it immaculately and sanding the rivet and tinning the wire and just sinking it into a bead of solder on top of the sensor, then crimping a connecting lug onto your wire. But that's not worth the work and not likely to last.
