Sorry bout that!

I thaught I had posted that info! (it was in my other post!)

1973 280C (gas)

Ground the wire going to this sensor.

If gauge goes up, it is the sensor. If not , it is the gauge or wiring ...........

thanks...

now where abouts would I find this sensor?

(sorry, not very mechanically inclined!)

Right hand side of the engine. On the cylinder head below the valve cover and above the exhaust manifold. There will be two sensors which look similiar. There will also be one shaped like a bell in the front. The rear sensor SHOULD be the gauge sensor. Ground the rear wire first and if no results then the middle sensor (I have seen them switched many times).
