Description
Engine Temperature Sender. The 1956 Engine Coolant Temperature Sending Unit accurately converts engine temperature into electrical resistance registered on the vehicle’s temperature gauge. This component is essential for reliable monitoring of engine temperature in vehicles equipped with gauges rather than warning lights.
_x000D__x000D_Construction and Appearance. Crafted to original blueprint specifications, this sending unit features a 1/2 x 14 N.P.T.F. thread size with terminal connection and housing dimensions matching vintage standards. The internal thermistor is selected to provide accurate resistance changes corresponding to temperature variations. The unit typically has a raw metal finish without stamped markings.
_x000D__x000D_Installation. Installation is straightforward and does not require sealants such as Teflon tape or pipe compound. The unit threads directly into the engine block at the original sender location, with no drilling or modifications needed.
_x000D__x000D_Application. This sending unit is designed for select 1956-1965 Cadillac models including Fleetwood, Seville, Deville, and Eldorado, as well as 1956 Chevrolet Corvette, Fullsize models, and select trucks and SUVs from 1956. It is not compatible with vehicles using temperature warning light switches.
