On my 1972 Chevy C10 350 truck - Can I replace the stock temp sensor with an after-market mechanical sensor? If so, can I use the stock sensor location for the after market unit?

Asked by RWarren Aug 18, 2015 at 12:48 PM about the 1972 Chevrolet C/K 10

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

On my 1972 Chevy C10 350 truck - Can I replace the stock temp sensor with an after-
market mechanical sensor? If so, can I use the stock sensor location for the after market
unit?  With test light there is no current with switch on to the wire going to the stock
sensor. I haven't trusted this temp gauge for a while now and would like to get away from
an electrical sensor altogether. Thanks for any help -
