temp sending unit
Anyone have a NOS or used working temperature sending unit they can spare? It's for a 12v ['56] 312.
Or know where I can get one?
Bought one from one of the catalogs, it's a cheap foreign unit that doesn't work right. Only goes down to high normal with the ignition on. I tried momentarily grounding the wire and got full cold on the gauge so I think the gauge is ok.

Bumping back up for a second try.
Can anybody help me with the engine temperature sending unit? This is for a 1956 12 volt 312 and it's the unit for the gauge that pegs at the hot end when the power's off.
At this point I'd prefer NOS or used over NORS.

The 1956 temp sending unit was used for one year only, and was tough to find 20 years ago. It is the same for all trucks, Ford passenger cars and Thunderbirds. I would think that today, someone has reproduced them.

I know this is old.... But is there a number for the piece that goes in the head that the sending unit screws into?

Haven't bought one, but they're listed in the CASCO [Classic Auto Supply Co.] catalog, Untitled Document, 10911A for '55 [292] and '56 [292 & 312], 10911B for '57 [312]. $14.00. Their removal puller is TL-5 for '55-'56 and TL-6 for '57, $15.75.

Im not really sure of the year of my block. I do know its has ECG casted on it. Right now it has a freeze plug installed where the bushing goes.
I need 12volt so will the 55 work? Or do I need to use the 56 bushing and Sending unit.
Also any idea how to install one of these bushing?

My truck is a 55 and I am planning on using the MF or LCM 12v conversion gauges which comes with a sending unit from what I understand. So then I guess I need the 55 bushing to go with it.
Has anyone installed one of these bushing? If so what is involved? Just pounding it in to the block where the freeze plug is now Is there any sealant needed?

Oh Duh, it sez what year your truck is in your signature.
Anyway, Yes they install like a freeze plug. I think they may be slightly tapered. Don't use sealant because it will insulate the sending unit from a good ground. You need to find out the size of the sending unit that you are going to use so you can get the proper size bushing.
