Default New member and question

Hello
My name is Kevin and I am a new member here with this forum. I have had Corvettes in the past, including a 1984 and a 1980. I am not too familiar with this engine and have a question. I noticed that the connector has broken off of what I believe is the coolant temperature sensor. The sensor in question is on the drivers side of the motor and has a single wire connection. Am I correct here or can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a diagram of the computer sensors for this motor? Lastly, is there a place on this forum where you can buy connectors or other parts?

Thanks again and I look forward to learning more from this forum

Kevin

Default connectors

I cannot help you on the sensor, but I can tell you where to buy replacements. EFI Connection is great. They are on-line. I broke a sensor connector on the front of the engine and they sent me one inexpensively. They also sold me some high quality wire loom stuff which was also pretty cheap. I highly recommend them.

I think that would be the temp switch to turn the secondary fan on.

I have lots of respect for moderators. I would go crazy if I had to deal with 84 Corvettes BS, trolls and legit moderation.
