Overheating ?
Okay my 383 is a 86 block and Im using the heat ascending unit from that year. I have it in a port in the back on the drivers side. Im just wondering if the ohms is different then say a 68 and its throwing my factory gauge off or what. Im running a 180 thermostat so Im at a loss. I have the old 202 heads so I don't have a place in the head to install it. The only other place I have is in the top of the water pump. Any suggestions? I have a 1968 with factory gauges. Should I just use a heat ascending unit for a 68?

Re: Overheating ?
If I understand you correctly you are using the 1986 temperature sender. That will not work correctly with your factory guages. There are numerous threads about this issue and the common cures for it. Use the search function for "engine temperature sender" and click the 67-72 button. Best have some time for all the reading. Good luck.
