Temperature Switch Part Number?

[Guest SLO Ken]

Do any of you know the part number for the temperature switch on a '61 Nailhead? It screws in to the right (passenger) cylinder head just behind the water cross-over. Mine broke (I broke it ) and I want to find a replacement.

Thanks.

Try Classic Buick for the switch. They have them there for $16.00. They don't give the number of the switch, only the year of the automobile. The web site is www.classicbuick.com. I purchased one for my 63 Riviera from them. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll check them out. There was a switch on eBay a couple of weeks ago. The seller listed the part number, but not the application... hence my question.

temp switch available at NAPA 60-63 364&401 w/light TS6625, 61-63 215 TS6471, go to napaonline.com and type in the part number and you can probably get a picture, at any rate you can have it from your dealer w/in a day. Most people don't realize how much old stuff is readily available, and I doubt you can see much difference from a "GM" part compared to NAPA on something like a sender. I have only seen some small numbers on things such as brake light original switches off cars from the 20's & 30's and NAPA carries those too.

yep just checked $14.49
