Be very careful removing and re-installing the temp sender.It is a very,very soft brass and will break pretty easy.

But isn't that the one that sits in the t-stat housing? I need the sender than goes to the temperature gauge in the dash.

OO, so basically the two units are the same, except one plugs into the housing and the other into the back of the head..

With anything you do to the engine block make sure to put anti seize on the bolts. it will save you a headache later on..........
