Re: temp sender

Hi, if you mean you can't find the part number, I just did this job on my '87 V6 and I used a WELLS TU66 Temp Switch. Or..if you're talking about the physical location for the switch, it replaces the warning light switch located right behind the AC compressor.
After I did the swap I had high temps for a while, and the rad fan would not turn on. After testing the electricals, it turned out I must have had an air pocket in the system in the area of the fan switch at the back of the engine. After several attempts at bleeding the air with the front of the car in the air and the cap off, it finally cleared out. Hope this helps...

This is a shot from my '87, should be the same on your '85. Easier to see if you kneel down close to the fender.
