Has anyone found a good source for a replacement Oil Temp Sensor. I have tried 2 different new sensors from Standard (TS437) through Amazon. Both put the needle at 320 on initial cold start up. I am so mad that I broke the original sender during the engine rebuild.

Reason: Spelling
I found one at Eckler's Corvettes, but I haven't bought it yet. I'm not sure this is what I need. My analog gauge stays pegged at zero as does the electronic readout. My car is a '94 base coupe. Since both readouts are at zero I am assuming that it's the sender - do you think I'm right?

If either stays pegged at zero it can be a broken wire but since both digital and analog are at zero that would require 3 broken wires. I would be more inclined to believe it’s a bad sensor or just unplugged.
The thread is too large so off to Menards for an adapter number6805940 (3/8 in FIP x 1/4 in MIP). Thought I had it but the hex on the adapter interferes with the engine. I ended up putting the adapter in my drill press and removing the hex up about half way. This allows the adapter to thread all the way into the block. I’m sure if I tried a few different brass adapters I could find a solution without modifying the adapter but I was hot and sweaty so I didn’t feel like multiple trips to find different adapters. Plug in the connector and start the car, Check For Leaks!
my digital gauge and analog gauge now both work!
I wish I took pictures but again, Hot, Sweaty etc! Hope my description works.
