Hey everyone,
I recently pulled the trigger on running an A-Pillar gauge pod with water temp and oil pressure gauges. I'm not a fan of GM's reputation with their sensors and clusters (I've experienced failures that were almost costly) so I'm running my own. The problem I'm finding is that I can't seem to find a temp sensor that will fit the 350 in my '91 that tells me the ohm resistance. The gauge itself (as described by the factory) has the following resistance:
104F = 925 oHms
302F = 32 oHms
Anyone familiar with a sender that'll fit in the 350 and work relatively close to this? The sender that came with the gauge had to be fit in an adapter, but the adapter caused the sensor itself to sit too far out from the engine and not catch any coolant to measure the temp of, so I'm looking for a direct fit into the block.
