Sensor help needed on a '71 engine swap
I'm installing a new 350 in place of the old stocker, and I've found that the old temperature sensors in the driver's side head and on the passenger side will not fit the new setup. For the driver's side, I'll reroute the wiring and install the sensor on the water pump, however there is no similar provision on the passenger side for the double-bladed one. What have you done to fix this issue - and what's that passenger side sensor for??? 
Another temp sensor? Any help is appreciated

Just use a temp sensor for an 82 in the drivers side. It has the smaller threads. The pass side is probably not necessary any more unless you are using your stock intake and retaining the TCS solenoid.
