Engine Temp Gauge

so I have a 89 formula that had a 305 TBI,
it has been replace and now there is a small block 350 in there,
the engine temp. gauge is not working.
im thinking its the sending unit.
since it is not working i was thinking about giving it a more modern look with an after-market digital gauge.
but my question is, it says it comes with a universal sending unit. would that work on our gen?
1/8th NPT male thread electrical water temperature sender - thats what it said was included. would that fit?

You need a 3/8-18 NPT.

You can use an adaptor.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

The photo in your link is a 3/8-18 to 1/4-18.

You need a 3/8-18 to 1/8-27.

However on-line catalogs sometimes use a photo which is only similar to the part you order.

Call them to verify they’re going to ship the correct one.


Happy Racing!
