Re: 1951 temp sender new not working :-(

First question would be if it is the correct sender. If the gas gauge works, the instrument voltage regulator is OK and if temp gauge moves to the hot side when the wire is grounded then the wire and temp gauge are OK which only leaves the sender. Either it is not getting a good ground or else it is the wrong one.
A Napa TS6464 or Standard TS4 will work in the 51-6 models. If you have the correct sender then with it installed in the head use an ohmmeter and check your resistance values between ground and the terminal on the sender. DrewLA made some readings of the temp senders he installed in his car and posted them on site.
You can find the original thread if you do a search on the forum for the entire discussion but for convenience, here are his resistance findings.
