Sender unit for chevy 350
Hi folks,
Iv'e got a very nice 1957 stepside. It has the original dash cluster, however a 1975 chevy 350 enginge. Sadly it doesnīt have a temp Sender. I have trouble locating a corresponding hole in the manifold for that. Q: does anyone know where the temp sender should be located? Q: does anyone know what sender (range) will work with my heat gauge? It is a spreadbore 4/bbl cast iron manifold, truck engine, 1975. The only in/outs I see is, water heat for the fan, oil and vacuum. Take care //B |

Re: Sender unit for chevy 350
a pic would help, but there is often a port next to the thermostat housing on the intake

Re: Sender unit for chevy 350
You should have a plug on the heads, use that hole.

Re: Sender unit for chevy 350
Hi
looking a little bit closer I did find just under the thermostat housing (on the block)a plug. Hard to see, but maybe a 1/4 or 5/8 hole. I will try to use that one. I didnīt see any other holes on the heads, or anywere else. Does anyone know if the standard 75 chevy sender works with the original gauge? //B |

Re: Sender unit for chevy 350
Look between the spark plugs on the pass. side between # 6 and #8 plug for a pipe plug, remove and replace with sending unit of choice.

Re: Sender unit for chevy 350
Yep, I found the plug!
Bought me a sender , TS-6 made by standard. I tested it and it seems to be working just fine with my old gauge. Now I have all my guages and the speedo working too. Thanks a bunch. //B |
