Re: removing the temp sensor probe on a 282

David,

If it was my Packard I would consider using a little heat to free the fitting from the head. I believe the fitting is brass. Maybe a propane torch would provide enough heat to break the lock on the threads.

After market mechanical temperature gauges usually come with a variety of adapters to fit their gauges. I think the adapters have pipe thread on the part that screws into the engine block or head. The original threads for the fitting are not pipe threads.

Good luck with this.
