Temperature Sending Unit vs Sender In Head

I have a 1970 LT-1 and the Temp Gauge does not move it is stuck at under 120. I wanted to check and see if the sending unit was the problem and the only thing I found was bolted into the passenger side of the block and it looked like the Temp Sender In Head not the typical temp sending unit.

Where would the Sending Unit be?

Thanks

Should be in the drivers side head, more or less directly above the steering box. Green wire.

The one on the passenger side is part of the smog system.

Ok, I found it but noticed I am missing the connector, where can I find one besides Lectric as they want $16 ($9 of which is shipping), plus if I could get it locally that would be a big bonus.


Thanks

Lectric Limited is the manufacturer of that connector. In your area, maybe Crazy David has them in stock.

An alligator clip will work just fine.... or go to any auto parts store and look on the HELP rack where they have (crimp on) electrical connectors. I am sure that you can find one for under $5.00

something like these.....
