Hi guys

The temperature gauge of my '66 Coupe doesn't seem to work anymore so i was thinking the sending unit might be broken.

1 ) Can anybody tell me where to find it ?
2 ) How long should it take before seeing any change in temperature
3 ) Is there any way to measure if it's actually working ?

Thx in advance

 

1. If V8, should be in intake manifold, between distributor and carburator.
2. About 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove wire from sending unit, and while key is at ACC, briefly ground the wire to the block. The gauge should peg high.

 

Thx that did the job. Got it working again

 

Yahoooo. Ain't it fun to fix stuff?

 

One of the reasons I love my 73 Mach is that it's so much easier to work on compared to the newer cars.

The only electronics ia maybe a Pertronix upgrade. Things are a lot easier to diagnose. Don't have all the EFI along with the associated electronics and sensors. Oh well, didn't mean to climb up on a soap box here!

 

I totally agree....these old cars are not only easy to diagnose, they are easy to fix. And, a lot of fun doing it. I would not even start to work on my 03 Mach1. I can't afford the diagnostic equipment, nor would I know how to use it if I had it.
