What is this???

Hey guys. I was giving the car a once over today and noticed this sensor looking thing with no plug on it. It's mounted on the radiator, passenger side, just above the lower radiator hose. It's on my stock 88 IROC, 350 tpi. Thanks

Fluid level sensor. You either have an aftermarket radiator that is consolidated to cover many configurations that might include features you do not have, or you have a used radiator out of a GTA with digital dash.

Re: What is this???

That looks awfully low in the side tank to be a fluid level sensor. Shouldn't it be up higher in the driver's side tank near the upper radiator hose?
