correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
Hey guys - I am struggling to find a source for a KEM TW7 or equivalent temp sending unit that is the correct threaded stud type that came originally on our V6 engines vs the Chevrolet type with a slip on non-threaded stud on top.
I think it was Lewis Matkin who ordered and sent me the last one I had, and now I need to buy a few more - does anyone know where to get the correct threaded stud version of these sender units?

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
This isn't gospel but for me, I had to modify mine with a resistor to work. I couldn't find any of the original style anywhere that matched exactly. The good news is it's an easy modification that will let you use the new temp senders without any problems.
You might find some NOS on Ebay, but that's always sketchy. Maybe someone knows of a repop somewhere.

It may cross to AIRTEX 1T1062. May be a gauge type. Assume you need indicator type.

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
Indicator or Idiot light, is what I am referring to. I didn't know if some years had "indicator/idiot" lights and some had gauges. The senders would be different. If all 60-66 had gauges, that answers it. If the one I listed has the correct threads and ohmage, you don't need Lewis.

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
Ken, I googled the Airtex number you gave me and BOOM! the exact right one I needed. So very much appreciate this info - and now all the other members know which one to get for their engines as well. Thank you - I have the part on order through Ebay

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
It looks correct, but hope the threads that screw into motor are correct and the ohmage is correct for your gauge. Please let us know if it works.

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
Speaking of gauges... Is there a way to confirm "Low Oil" indicator is functioning. When I start my 64 3/4 ton the Generator light glows then turns off, but no such glowing on Low oil indicator. Bulb is good but wonder about dash light. Plan to add separate oil gauge under dash later... Like to know oil pressure.

Re: correct V6 temp sending unit KEM TW7
The oil bulb should glow too at startup.
