Correct temp sender PN - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

61_FL_Apache · 07-03-2013, 06:18 AM

I have used the temp sender from Auto Zone for $8 and the guage moves, but it moves too far. Its the wrong resistance or something.

I remember seeing the correct sender part number out here but cant seem to find it now.. Does anyone have it handy?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, you can also purchase a correctly calibrated aftermarket unit at http://www.lectriclimited.com/electrical_devices.htm

I purchased their unit and it works perfectly with factory gauges.

The senders from Lectric Limited fixd the gauges on both my 64 C10 and my 69 Chevelle.

Wondered why my gauge was so damn HI!

Thanks for the lectriclimited link.. I think that's the best place to find the correct one.

Lately I am seeing people on ebay buying these for more than $70.. Are the correct ones that hard to find?

I found this one today. I found the part number from Rock Auto.

Any opinion on this option?

I used the WT203 for the light. This may be the correct one for the gauge. BWD - Coolant Temperature Sender Part # WT203P.

I have a gauge in my truck so im not sure if that one will work.. I will research that part number and see if I can find more info.
