Technical Water Temp Sending Unit ID

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by hotrodA, Feb 16, 2024.

  1. Can anybody ID this water temp sending unit? Has a stud and nut for an eye terminal.
    Goes to Classic Instruments Quad temp gauge like this. PO installed in my 40.

    Surely it can’t be proprietary. Got a brand and part number? I would like to buy local.
    Is it just a standard GM/SBC piece? It looks like a Standard TS-388, but I don’t know ohms.
    The old one was on the blown up flathead (wrong thread size) and it’s gone away.

    Speedy Bill has them for $31.45 plus shipping. That seems f’ing crazy! Maybe not.

    Thanks!

    The $ 20.00 senders I buy from the local parts house usually start leaking after a month. I would spend the bucks and get classic instruments. Jmo.
    If you need it send me a pm and I will measure the ohms on mine.. I have the oil and temp from classic.

  5. Classic instruments #
    SN25 for 1/2" pipe thread
    SN24 for 3/8" pipe thread

    I'd suggest buying the Classic Instuments sender recommended for your gauge.
    I don't know how to get a correct/accurate cross reference to Standard Motor Products.

  6. Thanks!
    Checking the CI SN-25 online and on that auction site, it looks Iike it’s pretty much the same price everywhere. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
