Re: Daverods project 66
JB weld would work, but it's getto. If not cleaned up right you could have it fall off and get stuck. How much is a new sending unit?

Re: Daverods project 66
I think that is pretty common.
you could probably braze it with a propane torch.

Re: Daverods project 66
My green temp light comes on when I start up then it goes out after a couple minutes. Is this normal? I'm thinking that maybe it's overheating and the red bulb is burnt out. It doesn't seem hot. Went to swap bulbs did'nt even have a red bulb wrecked the green one getting it out. Guess I'm off to get some bulbs.

Re: Daverods project 66
I did'nt understand what brazen was all about. I have soldered copper pipes before. Cleaned it up and soldered it back together. Works good now still have to mess with bending the rod to get it read right. Thanks Joe. I think it's within a 1/4 or so. Time to go burn some gas.

Re: Daverods project 66
cool man, brazing and soldering are pretty much the same idea, typically when you solder you use an iron and solder, brazing you use a torch and some type of filler rod.

Re: Daverods project 66
Well, the green light works? Except when the red bulb is pluged in. If I take the red bulb out the green works. Turned out the Temp. sending unit? going into the radiator hose is messed up. When I move the wires going into things change ( one light, no lights, both lights). Can't seem to find one in LMC.

Re: Daverods project 66
Anybody know what the thing with the wires going into it is called and where I can get a new one? It goes to the temp. warning lights on a 64.

Re: Daverods project 66
Ordinarily a temperature sending unit has only one wire. Looks like that one has 2 or 3 wires? I don't know what else it would be being it is in the coolant.

Re: Daverods project 66
It has 2 wires and it looks like it goes in the coolant. When I wiggle it it makes my temp warning lights (green/red) blink on and off. I think it's bad and I need a new one.

Re: Daverods project 66
My water bill was 120 last month and mine still isn't that green. I guess my yard is bigger!

Re: Daverods project 66
I have 1 acre of land. There's no way I'm putting grass on it. I even sold my almost new lawn mower from when we lived in Vegas 4 years ago. I don't know what our water bill is, but I know it's ridiculously low.

Re: Daverods project 66
I would'nt want your AC bill though. I thought it was legal to grow grass in Cal. Even heard there was $$$ in it. Maybe that was further north?

Re: Daverods project 66
I need to know where I can get a new cap for the end of my manual steering gear. I have an old gear box but I don't know how to get the cap off. The one on my truck is missing. I don't want to swap out the whole gear box if I can just get the cap off and put it on the one thats already on my truck. It kinda just looks like a freeze plug?

Re: Daverods project 66
The electric bill isn't that bad either, and we also have a above ground pool. It cools off here in the evening. In Vegas that's another story. The electric bill there was $400.00 a month. It never cooled off.

Re: Daverods project 66
BTW I agree with the freeze plug. Here's a little tip. Put the freeze plug in with the cup facing out, and tap the center with a hammer. I said TAP, not HIT, like a small dent. That spreads the plug to seal it better.

Re: Daverods project 66
Going to hit 100 here today. Got to get all my work done by 10 so it can chill in my garage and work on my truck. Did I tell you my garage has AC. Not.
