Thanks Bikespace
done what was necessary, I was lucky to find an old 1980 Caprice with the engine out, borrowed the sensor and it worked just fine. An IR reading on the thermostat housing confirmed the reading on the gauge. I also removed the thermostat since she lives in a warm area.
thanks to all for your assistance and valuable help

do you have a p/n or specific car info for other owners because getting a proper sender is hard.

I thought this resolution would be helpful to others. The sensor came from a 79 or 80:Chevy caprice. I know it had an SBC 350. That’s all I know… no p/n is known to me. I’m not even sure if it’s an ACDelco part.
