Frank Wilkie Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I have a 1954 Chry N.Y. 331 v8. I'm trying to replace my water temperature sensor. It does disconnect at the sensor by unthreading the nut disconnecting the flared tube fitting.. As I ask about a new one it seems that several has mentioned that the original sensor was affixed to the tube and directly with the dash gauge. Is this correct.. I have the original dash gauge but like I said , it unscrews off of the sensor. I need to just replace the sensor. Does anyone know where I can purchase one?

tom1954 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The probe and tube leading to the gauge are all 1 unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tom has said, the sensor to gauge is a sealed unit. If you break any of the connections the enclosed fluid will escape and it's really a specialist job to repair, or if you are an industrial chemist, avery tricky job.
