69 427 temp sender ??

[dick foehringer]

are the corvette temp gauge sensors the same resistance as other 69 GM cars? i was comparing the original temp gauge sensor from my 427 to a new gauge sensor for a 69 camaro i had. the original sensor reads about 75-100 ohms more than the new one across the temperatures. is my old one bad? 495 ohms original to 394 ohms new at a little above room temp. i put them both in a cup of hot water and they tracked. just wondering if the corvette gauges were different. all of the camaro and chevelle gouges were the same.

The temp senders used for 1969 Corvettes are funcionally identical to the senders used for all other 1969 to 1975 Chevrolet cars with temperature gauges. 1969 Corvettes used a pin terminal-type sender. I'm not sure if other 1969 Chevrolet cars originally used the pin or button-type units. However, if they were different in that respect, that was the only difference. Internally, they were the same.
