Location of coolant temp sensor for 2F? (1 Viewer)

[Pskhaat]

I know it is in a plug in the aft portion of the head by the firewall and #6. Does it screw in? Which exact part of the head does it go in? Trying to find out if a 2F sensor would work in a 3F-E head.

Thanks,

On a GM, it's on the side of the block, and I believe it's the same on the Toy-I6. Yes, it screws in, and will have a male-spade on it to connect up a female.

Now which `plug' does that actually go into on the head? I thought it was on the head, not the block....right?

On mine there are two ports on the head, I do not have one on the block. They are near the front and about mid way back. The holes in to the head are 1/2 NPT, or atleast 1/2 works great. I was told to use brass, so it will give before the head, just in case. They look alot like the head bolt locations. I have almost mistaken them a couple of times when I get in a hurry.

The sending unit follows the gauge on most swaps. IE.... to get a 2F stock temp gauge to work you would need a 2F sensor. I am sure this applies to F vs 2f and I assume it follows to 3F also. Location is hidden with a 3FE but I bet it would screw right in. AFAIK if it screws in and the gauge matches the sender you are there.

That's what I'm hoping. Yes, my guage is the 2F guage in my 40. The 3F-E head looks almost identical to the 2F, but I don't have the 2F in there of course any more and just didn't pay too much attention; need to look tonight as to which screw/cap/plug to pull in order to put a 2F sensor.

The sensor wires were those that hooked to the two-pole disconnect on the 40's center firewall, no?

Mid-way from the front? I could have sworn the sensor went in the back couple of inches from #6?
