No help here but I have the same problem with my 69 350. When I bought the truck it had no temp sending unit at all. I went to napa to get a new sending unit, they had one listed for a 69 C10 with a 350 so I bought it. Now the gauge moves all the way to the right before the engine is completely warmed up. I'm assuming my 350 is not the original engine, I know the truck originally had a manual transmission with a floor shifter. I guess we could try getting a sending unit for a 6 cylinder or big block and see if that works.

oh yeah, my sending unit connector does look like the head of a nail...
