Default Temp. Sensor Wiring? 1980
Guys, I have a 1980 that is almost restored. I am putting the finishing touchs on it now. I have a probe on the drivers side that screws into the block. I assume its a temp probe. What wire attaches to it?

Thanks
Mike

There should be a green wire coming out of the harness at the same spot as the red alternater wires.
