Temperature sender help (different sizes?)
Im putting a Ram Jet 350 into my 69 and just found out that the original temp sender wont fit into the head on the Ram Jet. As you can see in the pic the plug that came out of the Ram Jet head is much smaller. Does anyone make a smaller temp sender with the single pole wire hookup? If not, what do i need to do to get my temp gauge working?

Did a little more checking - 1979 was the first year of the smaller threads, and the sender should be the same through '88.

I'm not sure about the 79. I build a new engine with Dart heads about 3 years ago and the original senders for my 79 L82 were the larger size and had to fab adapters from the local hardware.
