[1971 Chevelle SS]

I just installed all new gauges in my 71. The temp sending unit I received with the gauges is for a 71 engine with 1/2" temp sending unit, but I have newer centerbolt heads that use a 3/8" temp sending unit.

Any clue how I get a 3/8" temp sending unit that will allow the temp gauge to read correctly?

Can't you find an adapter?

"IF" you have Autometer gauges, they make LOTS of replacement possibilities:

Install the temp sender on the intake near the thermostat. It's reading are much more accurate there anyhow.
