    60 water temp sending unit

    I believe I have an aftermarket (incorrect) temp sending unit. The water temp soars to full scale very quickly. I was told that a 22 ohm resistor will bring it back into scale. It didn't work.

    Is there a correct resistance value that will work or does anyone know where I can get a correct sending unit????

    Thanks,

    Bob,

    Temperature sending units are available from most of the Corvette houses so getting one is not the problem. CALIBRATING it can cause some headaches though.

    I'm not sure why your temp rises quickly either, it could be the thermostat is not functioning properly.

    I can help you with calibration, but the explaination is too long for the NDB. E-mail me direct should you require an assist.

    Best Regards from Connecticut..................Mark

      Generally, as Mark says, quickly rising engine temperature can be a sign of a stuck thermostat.

        I bought one for my 61 at Auto Zone. I have checked it with an infrared thermometer, and it appears to be very accurate.
