Re: Temp sending Unit

Attached is a pic of the 1950 (larger one) temp sender and the 1953 temp sender.
Not to hijack a thread, but related 53 and 50 sender info and dilemma:
They both have a KS stamped on them, the 50 has a 9 stamped by the KS and a number on the other side, 224.
The 53 has a 3 stamped by the KS, and a number on the other side, 240.
I don't know what those numbers mean, but they may mean something to someone here.
At room temperature, the resistance between the screw post and the body on both was different, which would lead me to believe they're not compatible.
I normally would just put an adapter in the block and use the old sender, but even the part that sticks into the coolant to sense temp is too large to fit into the hole on the 53 head.
Has anyone tackled this before? I don't think i can just drill the head out to a larger size and tap it, because i believe these are tapered pipe threads and i don't believe i'll be able to find a tap this size around here.
Does anyone know the rating of the earlier sender? Perhaps i can find one the size and thread of the 53 but different rating so it will work with the 50 gauge.
