Re: Why 2 temp senders?
Is it factory like that, or did someone add the extra one? Where do they go?
On my Charger, I have 2 temp sensors because I use the original gauge in the dash and an aftermarket on a cluster under the dash mainly because I didn't have another plug handy to put in place of it in the water pump housing.

Re: Why 2 temp senders?
Usually when there are mutiple temperature sensors, one goes to the gauge (or idiot light) and the other is a control switch for the vacuum advance. But on an '82 the switch should just be vacuum lines in and out, there is nothing electrical about it.
Got a picture of this set-up?
