Funny that you should bring DAVE'S old car up....In 2003 I saw it listed on e-bay so I e-mailed him to see what's up. He said he had just sold the car to someone privately and was surprised to see it was on e-bay. The new owner wanted to make some bucks I guess. Here is a couple of quotes from him on that car..... 1.) " I know that to duplicate the car with the V8 conversion and all the special stuff on it would take $8k to $10K, but no one ever expects to recover that kind of investment in a project car. " 2.) "There are some fist size rust holes in the floor pan, including a portion >>of the frame rail that was rebuilt with some steel straps. The motor needs >>a re-ring job because it burns oil, but since it is a Chevy, it is very >>cheap and easy to rebuild. I drove it for several years just like it is >>right now by keeping the oil topped off and avoiding rainy days. In >>Southern CA it is not too hard to avoid rain. Also, if you want to register >>it in California, you would need to bolt up the carburetor, smog pump and >>vacuum hoses to make it legal. It has a Holley TBI fuel injection right >>now. I did this every two years to keep it licensed." I thought it interesting in that his 8-10K dollar figure was two years ago and the rust problem.... In rereading his e-mails he said he had sold the car for less than the $4,000 reserve price the new owner had on it and if he hadn't sold it he would of parted it out.... It sold for between $5-6K if I remember right.... LARRY

DaleMX, You are correct, the sensor with the one wire is called the Thermal Transmitter and it goes to the temp. guage. The two wire sensor goes to the ecu to control a/f. LARRY
