[DeTomaso] Temp sender wires

[B. Seib]

My car is April 72. I just went out and checked. The temp gauge sender is in
a sheath all by itself. It's definitely that way from the factory. Perhaps a
PO added the black wire to your wiring, Asa Jay? The only black wire in the
area is the one to ground the distributor.
