68 tri power BB temp sender....
Hi guys ...
I am usually in the C4 section, but I have a friends 68 BB tri-power in the workshop at the moment, and the temp sender has quit on it.
The prob that I am having is that nobody that I talk to seams to have the sender that is on the car, it is fitted in to a t piece in one of the heater hoses right at the firewall, and not in the head between 1 and 3, in fact there isnt even a hole in either head to mount a sender.
Also the sender that is in the t piece looks to be 1/8 npt
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Adrian

I just went through this last week on my 69 BB - contact Lectric Limited. Check their website - they got great pics and info.

...Did you contact them to get a sender for your car, and if so did the correct sender turn up, and if it did what was the part number?...
Sorry for the barrage of questions but I have to get this sorted
Thanks in advance

Attached is a pic of the sender, the hex that you put the spanner on is 1/2"...
Many thanks

I have not seen one like this before either and I can't find a sender to fit.... I would just put one in the head and move the wire, but neither of the heads have the threaded hole
This is doing my head in ( excuse the pun
)
TIA

Here are a few more pics, the sender is right before the heater matrix, on the firewall.
This car is a matching numbers car, so that is what is strange about this one
