455 cylinder head temprature sensor needed

[rivgs 126]

I got a call from a new ROA member today. He is restoring a 75 Riviera that his parents bought new and he needs the temp sensor that screws into the back of the drivers side cylinder head. He has tried the Buick Farm and his local NAPA store with no luck. I checked CARS website, Rock Auto, EBAY and O'Reillys with no luck either. Does anyone have one to sell or know where to find one? I would like to help this guy and will pass on to him who should get the credit for helping him ( and me ).

On Rock Auto under 1975 Buick Riviera/cooling system/temperature sender/sensor they have several. Not very familiar with the 75 Riv so not sure if those are what you are looking for.

Bob,

 

 Close but no cigar. The one he needs has two spade terminals instead of the single round.  Thank you for checking however.
