Can someone tell me?
And is still a 3/4" to remove?
Temp sender for the gauge was a 13mm at the very back of the head on my 89

Renix:
The one with a single wire at the back of the head on the driver side with a 90° elbow is for the gauge. There is another sensor on the radiator for the computer.

I'm thinking its the fuel pump or something to do with the fuel. When i hit that thing on the fuel rail some comes out but it just pours out. Doesn't it normally spray out?
