90 TPI sensor help

I just bought a used motor to rebuild, and while taking it apart i found a sensor on the right head, that was melted away, and I have no idea what it is or what it's for....If it helps it has blue plastic on the inside????????????



does anyone have a diagram that shows where and what ALL the sensors are so I can get them replaced..

any help would be nice......

if it was in the head most likely it is your coolant temp sensor that goes to the gauge

Wrong....that is the fan temp switch in the right side head.
The CTS is in the front of the manifold....two wires blk-yel.
The guage temp switch is in the left head.

I think it is for the the second fan, this is a dual fan setup,....question does anyone have a part number for the second fan sensor?

or are they the same for both sides?

okay that was not the right sensor, here is what the sensor looks like and it is between the 6-8 spark plug cylinders.
the end of the sensor is melted off

some help would be appreciated

here are a couple better pic's you can easily can see the difference,
and some more clues maybe.
I just looked at the harness, and it seems that there is a plug by the wires for the started, it's white and with 1 female connector, and has a blue wire.
Any idea what that plug would go to?



some help please
