MONTE CARLO Temperature Sensor

[chuckfenn1]

1982 Monte Carlo V8 (305). Can someone send me a picture of how their coolant temperature sensor is installed and wired on their engine? I had a replacement engine installed and there is not a temperature sensor installed or oil pressure sensor. I see the green wire for my oil temperature sensor but the sensor is not connected to the block. Thanks

Should be located between cylinders 1 & 3 on the driver side cylinder head. Sending unit will depend on if you have gauges or warning light style dash. Will have a single green wire running to it.

The picture is the temperature sensor location it will use the green wire. The oil pressure sensor is usually under the distributor wire color is tan.

As ELCAM stated the temperature sensor is located at the cylinder head, Green wire.
The oil pressure sensor will be located behind and toward the driver side of the distributor or just above the oil filter on the driver side of the block. Tan wire.
Warning light sending unit looks like below.

Gauge dash will uses a sending unit like below.

For his year the switch for the warning lights dash oil light or the gauge dash choke/oil light will have two blade & look like this.

Any Chevy V8 or V6 car with electric choke will use this one regardless of warning lights or gauges.

Right on I want to move my sensor to the head and remove the emissions style water neck for a cleaner look
