Temp Sender Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chevyholic · 01-30-2008, 02:26 AM

Hey guys,

I've got a 71' Chevy with a 350. It has never had a working temp gauge, so I've been working on that lately. I've replaced the thermostat and temp sender, but am at a loss for the type of connector I need for the sender. I traced from the firewall and found the dark green wire, which was clipped for some reason, but I have no idea what kind of connector should be used for this application. The sender came with a hard black plastic housing, but nothing else.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the help!
David

It is just the female OEM spade connector that is slid into the black plastic housing.

Thanks! I tried one of those, but had the wrong size. Guess I'm headed back to the store this afternoon. Really appreciate the all the help here. I'm very green when it comes to these trucks, but have been in love with them since childhood. Appreciate that I can ask simple questions and get a courteous simple answer!

Cheers,
David

This is what it should look like.
