engine temp sensor questions
hey guy, gauge isnt working so i found a sensor, driver side on the 305tpi engine, up front in the middle of the front 2 spark plugs, which i believe is the temp sender, however the one in there doesnt have the 1 pin male end like the new one does. i cant visually see it, but seems to be more of a circle end with no where for the plug in. that the right one?

Those are a sort of "mushroom" connector, that goes on from the side. Your car's wiring should have the right plug for it (did at one time).

T.P.I is out of my jurisdiction, but mine on my 91' 305TBI is on the pass. side and the O2 sensor is on the drivers side....... Is the sensor you see in the block?
