[DeTomaso] Water temp sender?

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

So, I'm getting ready to install a 260-degree water temp gauge on a '71 
Pantera.   From the Gearhead Database:

Autozone Standard P/N TS-58 Water Temperature Sender indicates correctly on 
a 0-260 gauge. JDeRyke at aol.com

Here's the problem--Autozone no longer carries the TS-58.   That part 
number comes up as 'obsolete' in their computer, and it's replaced with a 
Duralast brand part--whatever the heck *that* is.

I know that there was some empirical testing done a few years ago which 
labelled the TS-58 as the superior choice--but I can't remember if the others 
were in the ballpark or were totally out to lunch.

Suggestions?

Mike
