Thanks to everyone for help with the Boss 429 temperature sending unit issue. Especially Shelbydoug and Royce Peterson. I managed to source an OEM part (still seems weird to me I couldn't find an after market that is not correctly calibrated) and it solved the problem. The car will not be driven a lot but at least now I know if the temp gauge gets up to "H" I have a problem. I just keep learning!
It is very strange. Even stranger that the aftermarket manufacturers claim that theirs are correct?
I had to learn the hard way just like you just have.
I'm glad that I could help and it worked out. It's crazy that anyone needs to go find one for $100 on something that should only cost $20.
These days you just can't take anything for granted. You have to check everything yourself which actually adds to your growing knowledge base.
as a result NO ONE touches my cars. If I get killed in it then it is my fault not someone else's incompetence.
