I used a female bullet connector for both my fuel sender stud, and my temp sender stud. Im running a mechanical oil gauge though.. I just crimped the bullet connector onto the wire and pushed it onto the stud.. It works great. and you can get those connectors at any hardware or parts store..

Im not sure if thats what you are looking for though...

The connector on that pink wire in the OP is female spade connector.

The male is a flat spade and is usually mounting on the coil terminals. (mostly found on Volvo Cars)

So you need a photo of the coil spade connector ..correct ?

Well thats kind of a personal question... LOL..

The thing is, with the bullet connector you can spread the diameter of the female end with a screwdriver tip, so if it looks about right you can just spread it or squeeze it to fit properly and then push it on like the stock temp sender was on mine..

yes, but here is the problem, that wire goes to the oil sender not the coil. this was a re pop of the original harnesses. does someone have a pic of an oil sender with a male spade on it?

(i could be wrong, if someone knows the proper order of the wires, that could be the problem as well.

The shoelace goes to the coil...

Plug the harness into the firewall plug - When the key is turned on, take a test light to each connector...a constant light is the coil wire, a flashing light is the temp or oil...

Hope this helps...

Well i guess my temp sender was not stock. It was just the threaded stud, no nut or male connector.. so i just pushed on a bullet connector..

The OEM Female version of the blade connector looks different than aftermarket version.

They are longer and wider and have what looks like 3 vents/slashes across them

I'll see if I can find one in my garage.
