I will have a look if I can find / see the new location of the temperature Sender.
thank you all!
Safety is for pussies…
My shaft is solid 😎
Some guy thought it would be a great idea to just put a bolt through it…sleeve and shaft.. ! And slightly offset to give it character!
because it feels better😛

When I took my engine out, there were 3 vacuum lines. A big one from the manifold went to the brake booster, one small one from the carb went to the distributer but the other smaller from the carb went to a copper tube that disappeared down to the RHS of the bulkhead.
It bugged me trying to think what it'd be for... a few weeks later, whilst replacing all the hoses, I blew into it to see if there was any resistance... free flowing. I removed the fuse box cover at the front right and there was the copper pipe disappearing up under the dash...only for about 6 inches and then it turned to a rubber tube... of 2 inches... dangling free. Vacuum gauge or boost gauge??
once I have seen this copper tube before too on a Pantera.
dont know which function it has.
I'd hypothesize for vacuum gauge

One of those..

no think not, the copper pipe has not a logical route for this.
first I was thinking it was for venting the battery caps, like how a 69/70 Mustang Boss429 use a hose for venting the battery into the trunk.

I would assume that the objective would be to keep the hydrogen away from the Parts which could ignite the hydrogen..
routing it TO the engine compartment, would be counterproductive… 💥
Now doing the radiator conversion on my car I can definitely say it kissed 💋 something… a long time ago on the left front…
interesting welding exercises … but nothing a angle grinder and a MIG welder didn’t fix…
was to be expected 👍
There was an interesting discovery!
I was always wondering why driver side door was a little bit on the wobbly side and low in the back …
well, here is what I found:
Why.. just why…

Aren’t those the “standard” GBC (Euro) fuses?
They used them on Faux-V’s (VW’s).
I might have some spare fuses for you…

Thank you…
I got a bunch but a manufacturer defect like that is just crazy!
That does not look like a factory defect but rather a high resistance causing the plastic to melt. I have seen this before.

Without the metal part discoloring and warping, or having any indication of heat?
Yes.
Me too !
“Before” they were made of heat-resistant bakelite, but now they are often made in China and made of ordinary plastic that melts in the heat.

I didn’t realize they are plastic 😳
they look like the real thing… cheap shit
