That's what is called a capillary type sending unit does not need external power. Take it out of the block and boil some water in a coffee cup stick the probe(only) in the water meter should start to rise(will take a short period of time). Tested one like this for my dad. The probe tip needs to be completely immerssed in the water. Will not work right if the probe when installed is touching/hitting other parts, i.e. need to have coolant all around it. Have one installed on my truck now it is not mounted exactlly like the original there is an adapter between the probe(male) threads and block(female) threads. this has the probe sticking off the block about and inch. Hope I've helped.
