Water Temp Sensor Location???

[67Satty]

OK, I'm stumped and feel like an idiot. Where the heck do you put the water temp sensor on a 440? My Chilton's has a picture that is not very helpful.

Can someone post of picture of where to hook up my wire for the dash gauge and my wire for my aftermarket gauge?

I can't tell which port on the water pump is for what. I'm not hooking up heater hoses so should I just plug the ports of loop a section of hose?

I yanked out my 318, now I'm trying to get everything hooked up on my 440 and I'm doing a lot of head-scratching. Thanks!

Hope this helps.

Yeah, that helps! Thanks! I thought that might be where it goes. So for an aftermarket gauge should I just put the wire terminal around that stud before I attach the factory gauge end?

Where can i find the rubber boot connector shown in the photo above?

The rubber boot came on the factory wire.But you can check junk yard you may find something off a car you can use.

That connector isn't something you will find easily. It's molded to the wire as part of the manufacturing process. The one in the first picture is pretty much the same as a Ford connector off a coil or something. I think the MoPar connector has a larger boot that goes around the whole sender.

Just to let you know, that an aftermarket electric temp sender will fit in the stock sender location if you don't want to use a mechanical one.

Don't loop a hose from the heater hose stems....pull em out and use brass plugs in the holes. I say brass because they don't rust in place....and looped hose looks goofy.

The aftermarket one is on top of the water pump housing between the radiator and heater hoses, and the factory one goes sideways and is behind the fan belt.

Mar, or others here, hoping you can provide some direction. A friend just bought a 67 Belvedere GTX convertible with a 440 and A/C. It's an Arizona car and a previous owner removed the heater hoses and just looped the 2 hose ports off the pump with a U-shaped hose. Here in Canada, we need the heater working to take the chill off in spring and fall. We've determined the heater core is not leaking (currently sitting full of antifreeze) but I'm not sure which pump port goes to which heater core port. On the firewall, the outermost core port goes into the top of the core, so does this port go to the frontmost pump port or the rearmost pump port? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Bill
