temp guages sending units...

[fftoddster]

So I have a '37. Replacing engine with a '46 with Edelbrock heads. The car is still 6 volt. I do not believe the sending unit from 37 fits in the Edelbrock heads.
The Edlebrock heads have the 1 and 2 wire sending units which I believe are a pipe thread? (Different than the thread on '37 heads?)
So the question is what to do to monitor temperature. hidden gauges under the dash? 6 Volt gauges? Or mechanical gauges? Any recommendations on what brand...?

Thanks for any input.

there are adapters to fit original gauge bulb into the pipe thread

The parts book lists part 01A-10889 --adapter heat indicater bulb ---for use when later engine in 32-37

Thanks, that part # may help. I have not had much luck finding it without part #.

if youve got both bits any shop that does hydraulics [hoses and fittings] should be able to supply or make you an adapter to suit
