`56 Ford Temp Sending Switch
Does Anyone know if there are different temp sending switches for
312 CID engines? I`m asking in terms of ohms, like fuel sending units.
My new gauge is showing really hot but the engine feels very normal to the touch. Thanks in advance.

I have a 1956 F100 with a 1957 312 in it as well. I bought a new temp sending unit from tbirdhq.com and it fits fine. The problem is that it won't work with the tmep gauge which needs to be modified to work with the stock truck gauge. I sent my gauge to a place in southern california and they retrofit the gauge so it worked with the new temp sender and still looked stock from the outside. If yo want that information let me know.

Passenger cars should read: 1957/62
