Sensor question

On my 91 TPI there is a sensor screwed into each head, one is the water temp sensor for the guage inside. What is the other one? Reason I ask is I broke it.

Neb,

If I'm understanding your description correctly, the sensor in the right head is for the auxilliary cooling fan (you should have two electric fans). Better replace it before the temerature turns warm again.

On the passenger side there are 2 sensors, one is the aux fan sw and the other one is the knock sensor. KS is the larger of the two.
