did a little search and destroy on a miss-fire and then did a burn out in front of my friends house after going out for some fun!

awesome, thanks guys. looks like i found both, hopefully they both work properly this time. Otherwise ill be back here for help:(

how come some have two prongs and a little plastic housing then? for the coolant temp sensor

oriley's and i said 86' el camino with no computer, i looked ans specifically made sure it only had one prong on it

temp sender is for coolant and they claimed it was for a gauge. It is in the same spot, on the front drivers side of the intake, right by the waterneck

i did swap from idiot lights, which is why i need new sending units. however, the temp sending unit i got read 210 on the gauge, when my mechanical one i had before read 180 and i just replaced the thermostat with a 180 one, so im trying to figure whats up. the oil pressure sender i think is...

I have recently swapped 86' elky round gauges into my 79' and cant figure out what the right sending units are for the coolant temp. and oil pressure. For those without a computer on their car, what sending units do you use? i heard the senders have to come from the same year car as the gauges...

My suggestion is just putting on efi, to make things easier. You still get the nice old school look, but the benefits of having efi. I recommend FiTech, they have it very cheap and is a direct bolt on. FiTech

Does anybody know what the part number is or where i can get an OEM electric temp and oil pressure sending unit for a 1986 elco? I recently did a round gauge swap into my '79 elco and i need the same year sending units as the gauges (which is '86) so they are accurate.

I went to that last year! We actually drove my elky, about a 600 mile drive, round trip. Flawless, ride was great. Also really enjoyed the the event, i plan on going again and actually registering this time, and my dad is probably bringing his vette too. If you see a silver vette and camino...

Thanks! I am forever grateful to my parents for this... my dad has a '65 vette that him and I worked on a lot when i was little. I like to say i have a true appreciation for old iron. As for turning 21, I dont plan on trying out that mixture. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks. I'll check it out!

Daily driver. I know its going to suck gas, so I foresee a 5 speed/ 2004r swap when I get some money that I'm willing to spend. I'm about done with the rally gauge swap, I put in a brand new tach and gps speedo. Other than that, I just plan to drive it.

About me: I'm 15, almost 16. My first car is an elky, and it is the best thing I could ever ask for. Can't wait to start to drive it on my own. I've had it for about 7 months. It's a 1979, with a mild 350 and a th350 behind it (More details in the images) Album Thanks for reading!
