Temperature Sender

[budnate]

guy on ebay supposedly sells the right one, claims it will read right, I bought one but have not used it yet.

This is a similar problem with the Pontiacs: all the aftermarket senders are essentially calibrated for the idiot lights even though they sell them to fit the cars with gauges. So they read waaaaaay high. I am currently hunting for the right sender for my T/A which at the moment reads 210 when it is actually 170 (checked with an actual thermometer).

Sound like I need a couple senders. I will order the ones on-line and let you know how they work. I thought there had to be a connection with both cars having the same problem. Thanks again for the advice and the link.

Yes, please update us the minute you get one installed.

I'd love to know that someone is making the right sending unit out there, somewhere!

I have had the same issue with my 73 T/A, I bought from NAPA, Autozone, Checkers, and even Classic industries to no avail! Still reads like it is going to overheat. I will wait for your test on the lectriclimted!

Wells manufactures a replacement sender that is virtually identical to the original sans the AC and made in the US script. The part# is TU12 and they work perfect and have been using them for years. Autozone sells them and i bet that where Letriclimited procures their senders.
