Temp sending unit
Does anyone make an "accurate" temperature sending unit? I'm referring to the probe that screws into the intake or heads on some big blocks.
Thanks,

I'm assuming you're asking about a C2. No difference from small block to big block. Lots of good info here:

Pretty much a crap shoot. The one that I bought that was right on the money was a Wells at Auto Zone. I think they call it Duralast now,which is the store brand name. I think I paid less than 10 bucks for it,cheap enough to give it a try.

I bought a replacement from Autozone (Wells T5 now Duaralast) and it doesn't even register on the guage. I tested it and it sweeps fully on the car but when I drove it, it didn't move. I was told that the calibration is inaccurate.
