Re: Temp sending Unit

After re reading the gauge electrical description, I was afraid that would happen. Other than trying a GM sender which probably won't work either, the plumbing might be the best, quickest and ultimately cheapest option.
Instead of the elbow and long pipe with no circulation, what about something like this which will be shorter and might get more action. I threw in a baffle and if I remember the water circulation diagram, if pointed toward the rear of block it should grab a bit of flow and feed it in. Of course, it may not be necessary and maybe not worth the effort to braze or solder it in. Not sure how long the sender is either so maybe a little more tee length would be needed. A nipple and cap could be there instead of plug.
I would use brass if you tried the baffle but galvanized would probably work as well without. Anyway, just a thought
