Temp sensor wiring for '61 GMC
Does anyone have a wiring schematic for the 60-63 GMC's? I'm trying to figure out the wiring for the temp sensor on my '61 GMC with 351V6. It has two sensors on the manifold, one with a dark green wire that runs back into the harness and one white with a red stripe that someone removed and coiled up around the radiator hose.
Would like to be able to get the gauge working again if possible... |

Re: Temp sensor wiring for '61 GMC
My schematic shows the dark green as the wire for the temp gauge. I have not found a White w/ Red Stripe. My 61 does not have that extra sensor on the lower left of the cross overhousing in your photo.

Re: Temp sensor wiring for '61 GMC
Ok I just looked at your video link and saw you have a 5000 series.
According to my schematic, there was a Dark Green/White stripe that would go to a warning light; if you had the Dual cluster. I see you have the single cluster; but the third photo below shows the red Temperature warning light (HOT ENG) that I think the wire is supposed to connect to.

Re: Temp sensor wiring for '61 GMC
Thanks for the help MM. I'll have to check the gauge and sensor and see if everything is hooked up/working. I don't remember off hand what I had for warning lights in the dash, I would assume since the extra sensor is there it must have a temp light.

Re: Temp sensor wiring for '61 GMC
if you had a temperature sensor on your truck the wiring would go to a computer. a sending unit which is what you have goes directly to the guage
