Temperature sender connector for pin type sender
« on: April 09, 2015, 05:19:14 PM »
After reading some posts including this one http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=7732.msg51924#msg51924 it seems that 1513130 is the correct sender for 68 v8 w/gauges [1513321 for 67 and 1513462 for 69]
1513130 is what's in my L34 with gauges, but I'm missing the correct clip on the end of the wire.

This particular connector seemed impossible to find anywhere, but I did find this repair kit at classic http://www.classicindustries.com/product/impala/parts/ca34620.html which includes connectors for 3 of the variations of senders.
But, these pics here http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=10187.msg79618#msg79618 shows a connector that is white, not black as in classic's kit, though black may be correct for 68's?
Thoughts appreciated.

My car still has the original connector, and it is almost clear plastic (although it has aged and certainly turned a little yellowish over the years).  Lectric Limited has a repair piece available, part number VRK6871TS.  IIRC, the LL plastic piece is a whitish/opaque color.  I can't remember or sure, as I bought the piece only to use the metal part of the connector.

In the available repair kits If its the Nail head sender the repair connector is off white. If its the Pin style sender The connectors come in black.

Hi crew, thanks for chiming in and pointing me to the lectric connector, though the water just got a little muddier for me  :D
The lectric connector is opaque white and of a style where the wire is 'in line' with the sender pin axis, whereas the classic one is black and has the wire at right angles to the pin axis.

It seems that neither of these is correct, as it should be translucent white or clear and at right angles?
If this is the case, then the classic one is the best compromise.

Cheers,
Rob

edit: In fact the lectric one almost looks like it's porcelain and immediately above it is kit 34620 which is very similar to classic's kit, though the lectric one has the eyelet [bolt -on type sender connector] already terminated to the wire and the others loose.
Even more perplexing is that lectric quotes that kit as being for everything except 68 with gauges!  ???

Also check out American Autowire.

I'm confused. The gauge sender is the Nail head design and the lamp sender is the pin style. If you have a 68 with gauges then I believe you need the nail head sender. So then you need the connector that slides in perpendicular to the sender head. Sender # 01513321 is correct.

Lol, it's a quagmire of part numbers and designs that according to the april 70 PnA grp 1.150, changed from year to year [for v8 at least] as per my first post.
01513221 is only correct for 67 v8 w/gauges - and yes, there is another pin design that is for 67 without gauges.

So to summarise v8 w/gauges:
67 is the nail head 01513221
68 is the pin style 01513130
69 is the threaded pin 01513462

67 without gauges is the same type of pin as 68 with gauges, but the pin is off-centre with a very different black thermo plastic moulding shape and of course has a different [copper] tail being a switch only. pn is 1993369
68 without gauges is the flat blade design, pn 1993426
69 without gauges is a little hazy and may only be applicable to L6 [all v8's had gauges??] pn 1993427 - also flat blade design

I've managed to hunt down some more pics, will post up soon.

Thanks L78racer.

Here's a pic of a switch for 68 v8 without gauges, reproduced with permission from ebay user gtonly.
Also, I had a brain fade [typo] with my post #5 above with regard the pn for 67 v8 w/gauges - should read 0153321

- should read 0153321
Unbelievable!! Two tries and I still can't get it right!!  :-\ Should read 01513321

Still gathering more pics with permissions and I think I have decoded the PnA part numbers for 67 - 69 L6 and v8 with and without gauges.
What's in this thread is fairly right, but not quite.
Will post all I have in a new thread soon.
