Please keep us posted on the adjustable sensor. I couldn't find a sensor that would work with both my LS engine and the stock temp gauge. I made up a fitting that sits in the heater hose and uses an original-type sensor. It's reasonably accurate but one that could screw into the head would be much much nicer.

If the hole is 3/8 npt, you can turn your old sender down... and run a die over it to cut the new threads. That is the easiest way out...

Try this Autozone Duralast TU66
Read the following thread. I went and got one and put it in. It reads about the same as the original (which I have in the intake manifold). As mentioned below they both read low (I suspect my gauge / resistance is less-than-adequate). I know that because I have a 3rd sensor going to my computer that tells my that running warmer than the gauge indicates.

This problem is something that has plagued all sending units for a very long time. I feel certain I can solve the issue with the new resistors for the back of the gauges.
