Hi
Can anyone advise on the temp sensor which fits into the right side of the radiator on my 1976 Toronado, I have ordered 2 which do not fit.
The original is 1/8" NPT and the ones that say original equipment are 3/4" NPT, mine has a pin type connector and the replacement has a spade type.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
BILL D

 

The ones I see online show a button connector for use with a gauge; the ones with a spade terminal are for use with a light.
Not sure what to tell you. 1/8" is very small and none of the ones online that don't specifically state the size don't look that small.

These listings show the button terminal but the threads are 1/2"

That "temp sensor" is actually a low coolant level sensor. Standard Motor Products P/N FLS38. I don't know if the original pin-style sensor is available anymore. The blade type was used in the 1977-1990 cars.



Edit: Standard Motor Products FLS3 might work for you:

 

I appreciate the help guys I have ordered the FLS3, it looks extremely close to the original.
