    Need help 1952 temp gauge 235 ci

    There is a hole it the head near the carb which looks like it accepts a brass fitting for the temp sending unit. Is this it or is that where the oil pressure sending unit attaches? If I purchase a new gauge cluster will it come with the oil and temp sending units?

    The temp. gauge sender fits in the left rear corner of the cylinder head .

    Gauge clusters come with temp. sender if original typ ., aftermarket is usualy electrical so you'd need a '59 typ sender .

    Oil gauge fitting is down low below the manifolds towards the rear of the block. Be carefuly is install the temperature probe in the cylinder head. Do not pinch the tube itself esp. if using a replacement brass plug to secure it
