Coolant Temp Sensor: Is this it? 440

[watermelon]

hi all,

i have an after market gauge providing the engine temp right now and i have traced the location on the engine where i am getting the temp. however, i think i found the coolant temp sensor where my stock gauge is connected.

can you take a look and tell me if that is the stock engine temp/coolant sensor is?

no sir. the 440 has a dry intake. that would be a manifold temp gauge(?)

IIRC the stock one is on the front of the water pump.

Here's my aftermarket sensor...the coil with the brass end. you may have a plug in that spot with a recessed head in it. mine did.

The stock temp sensor is through the alternator bracket hole probably with a purple wire on it.

The one you are pointing to is the vacuum line that goes to the heat and A/C controls.

the stock one is on the passenger side of waterpump,hard to get at because of alt bracket...Like the pic shows,aftermarket is top,passenger side of pump/upper hose

A temp reading in the intake manifold may provide some useful data for carb tuning, but it won't do a thing if you want to know water temp.

So I have to ask, what temps are you getting with it set up like that?

Thanks all.

Thanks MarPar for the pic. I too have the coolant temp as you have set up.

I was curious cause I was thinking of getting the stock gauge working.
