TEMPERATURE SENDER:

Dave,

The Borg-Warner WT324 or the AutoZone TS#58 should do the job.

Have fun,

The 260 degree gauge requires:
The inline resistor is 10 ohms 1/2 watt. The OEM installation was in a plastic capsule (picture attached). Any electronics store will have the resistor you need. You can clip the wire going to the sensor, slip some shrink tubing on it, solder the resistor in series with the wire ends, and then shrink the tubing to protect the resistor.

Temperature sender fitting is 3/8 NPT male

Niehoff sender # TS-25621 from NAPA is equivalent to the Autozone TS 58

The boiling point for water will increase 3 deg F for every 1 psi increase in pressure.

A 15 psi cooling system will not boil until 257F
