Temp Gauge stopped working
After changing the spark plugs on my 1990 conv. the temp. gauge stopped working
I have looked around the intake mainfold & heads to check the connection to the sending unit but i just can't seem to locate it.
Does any one know where the temp sending unit is located?

Do you have a sender in the passenger side head? If so check it. It would be just below the exhaust manifold. Between #4 and #6 I think.

More than likely you knocked the wire off of the temperature sending unit. Look between #6 & #8 header tubes (passenger side, last 2 tubes closest to the dash board) for the sending unit. Its a brass plug with an epoxy center that has a pin or spade male plug protruding form it. You'll probably find the wire and clip hanging right around the spark plug for #8 cyl (last one closest do dash board on pass side. Plug it back in, you'll probably be in good shape. :cheers:
