ok first, i gave away my old heads, but i forgot to take out the temperature sending unit piece. now i have new trick flow twisted wedge aluminum heads on my 350, i was wondering what size i would need, before i go looking at them?

and does anyone know what color wire goes to the temperature gauge in the dash, so i know how to hook up the temperature sender unit piece.

also i purchased an oil gauge from canadian tire, it said it was mechanical, and comes with all the fittings. its a sun pro 6044, this should be all i need to test if my oil pressure isnt stuck at 0, should this work ok? i just screw in the fitting, into the block, and hook the hose up to the gauge, and it should read after i turn on?

 

The hole for the temp sender should be a standard size, just ask the parts guy for the correct peice for your car.

Not sure if this is universal, but, it should be a single green wire, with a rectangular connector.

Yep.

 

ok well the motor is from a 74 chevy pickup, or a 72 i forget, but they are the same sensor, just wanted to make sure before i go buying stuff.

 

Worst case you may have to purchase an adaptor, but I kinda doubt it.

 

Just grab the sensor that is for your specific car, i doubt they machined the head to fit some oddball sized sender.

 

i just thought trick flow would have some kind of different size thread that what was normal.
