I am trying to get the temp gauge to work. Where exactly is the sensor located? Is it right behind the distributor? Thanks in advance.

oem/stock temp sendor is located on the bottom, dr side front of the engine (see picture). the wire runs up behind the fan shroud. it's secured with a little metal tab, again behind the fan shroud.

it's the big round thing next to the bar in post #6. you're missing the cover plate i pictured in post #5. plus i can't see the wire section. there may still be pictures of the whole package in the classifieds from when i sold one.

and the gauge works right? Could be its mounted somewhere else, like a dipstick sensor..

look for it!
if its doesn't work this is why, no sender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

has someone possibly owned the car before you??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

good chance you have the sender, just no wire going to it........motor might have been replaced (almost certain it's been removed at least once)

What you need is on E-bay right now. ( not my add) # 130037129185 you will still need O-rings,and metal gaskets,for the bolts,and the bolts,or you will have one hell of a oil leak. Good luck! Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
