pn#/source needed: temp sensor

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

It seems there are a lot of problems with these. My sending unit stopped working and because the system is 12V I thought I'd have no problem using one from a post war GMC engine. I got one that plugged right into the hole in the block and I wired it to the gauge. Nothing. It turns out the model I used was for the dash lamp warning system and not a gauge. It was either off or, when it hit 165 degrees, on. I'm still looking for one exactly the same but that works with a gauge.

since the actual temp sender works, i will make an electronic circuit to invert the signal and calibrate it.
will be easier for me reather than searching forever for the "proper" sender.
will be cheaper too since i have soo many electronic parts already.

thanks for all the reply guys, really appreciated !
