Default Temp sensor part number please????

Not for the gauge in the dash ... but the single-post 180* sensor to turn on my Spal fans. The rest of my wiring and relay system for the fans is good but I'm trying to locally buy a switch rather than getting another junk one from Spal.

Actually, a 190* would work just fine too because at 180* the fans have a large duty cycle and I think that they may run less with a 190* sensor.

I just came back from Napa and looked through Echlin's book//couldn't find what I needed. Ideas anyone?

3/8"NPT or 1/4" either one would work.

Your looking for a coolant fan switch, used back in the day just for electic fans but used with relays. Napa FS***, not many with only one terminal but several with two, these all have different on/off temp ranges that may work. Maybe the FS110 thru FS113 models would work. Otherwise other connectors available with better temp ranges. You'll have to go back and check out as this is all just from my etch-a-sketch memory.

The TS**** part#'s are mostly temp sensors for computer controlled cars or the idiot/gauge temp switch for the older cars.

I thought the Spal controller used the TS4015 GM sensor for fan control, would have to look at directions again to verify.
