[DeTomaso] coolant Temp senders, engine block

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I've gone through SOBills gearhead database and come up with the 
following for temp senders that would install to the engine block and 
supposedly make the stock Veglia gauge read correctly:

Autozone TS-58:  Crosses to a Napa Echlin TS6628, 22.7-25.5 ohms at 220 
Deg F.

Napa TS-25621 (listed as the bomb for the Pantera):  Crosses to a Napa 
Echlin TS6628, same as above

Borg-Warner WT324:  Crosses to a Napa Echlin TS6153, 15.2-19 ohms at 220 
Deg F.  (This is the Mustang unit by the way)

There are also a couple of entries that list a 10 ohm 1/2 watt resistor 
in line with the stock gauge makes the Ford temp sender read properly.  
Based on that knowledge, my guess is...

- if you use the Napa TS6153 (Mustang part), then you'll need the extra 
resistor.
- if you use the Napa TS6628, the resistance is already built-in

I picked up a stock Mustang sender which happened to be TS6153, and 
-then- I thought I better check the gearhead database.  Glad I did.  
I'll take this one back and trade it for a TS6628.

OH! and for those looking for a part number to buy, when Mike Drew 
posted his photo of a radiator drain-cock that had an outlet port for 
connecting to a hose, you'll probably want Napa EATON Weatherhed part 
number WH6660.  They're about $10 ea. at the store, $9 on line.  I'd 
recommend four myself, two for the radiator (upper left, lower left), 
and two for the engine block (left and right side).

Off to the store we go.
