temperature sensor - TVR 1600M

[urraco62]

Hello
I have a TVR 1600m (1973)
What is the correct temperature sensor for my 711M crossflow?

I tried sensors of different colours (white from Cortina 1600, black or purple...)and each time the needle gauge (SMITHS temperature gauge) climbs gradually and ends in the hot while the water temperature is normal (between 80 - 90° C)
What do I sensor mounted on my engine?

Thanks

Thanks

I will check this voltage stabilizer (and perhaps connect).

SIMCA 1200S: a small French GT which has Italian origins to the bodywork (Bertone) so that is bio-degradable..........

I changed the voltage stabilizer and the result is the same.

I measured 9.94 V output voltage stabilizer. The connection is in accordance with the instructions on assembling


Now what?

thank you for this address

So that is this sender:
Product: SMITHS TEMP SENDER 1/8NPT
Model: CB-TS-18
Brand: CAERBONT
Categories: SMITHS CLASSIC SENDERS - INSTRUMENTS


I wondered if this sender can be mounted with the old or new temperature gauges and without problem. That reassures me about this purchase, me too, I'm tired of spending money wrongly.

Bruno,
did you find a sender that worked?
I'm now looking for one for my 1600M.

Hello

Yes, I found a sensor that works.

after trying sensor of ford cortina or escort, nothing worked properly.

A few years ago, I bought a set of used sensor (oil pressure, water temperature, gauges....) for rally cars.
I tested all of them: a pan of hot water, the gauge of TVR, an electric fuel level sender (rheostat), a thermometer and an ohmmeter.
Among the sensor, only one worked : UNF thread, a spade connector, a white insulation. But there is no marking on it.

So I don't know the origin of this sensor

I'm really sorry, I wanted to help you a little more

Thanks Bruno,
white insulation colour would suggest is a Ford sender. Burton power XTT14, for BDA, Lotus Twink, Early pinto, some x/flow and pre x/flow?

I bought the same sensor, but it doesn't work with the gauge of the TVR 1600M.
