does anyone have the oil temp sensor out and handy?
 

i am looking for the temperature rating stamped in the side of the sending unit. this is for the SC (or others) with the temp gauge WITHOUT the numerical readings. does it say 171 deg cent? i would take mine out and read it, but i dont have a new crush washer handy. i cant read it in place because, my stamping is facing away (down) thanks a bunch!

I have an '81 motor on the stand right now. I'm not sure what the car has for a temp gauge (numbers or not). I assume it is the original sender.

thanks chris. lemme know.

I have one from a 3.2L engine - it says 200 oC on it; p/n on another face sez [what Chris has posted below]
10/85 on another face

I don't which of the numbers you need so here they all are:
200 C max
4 82
91160611200
VDO Germany
801/7/4
6-24V

wow. 200C is 392F.

i have a oil temp gauge that is in perfect condition. it is one of the strange numerical ones that maxes out at 340F. just wondering if they are compatable. i am thinking NO.

Nope
