I'm also having trouble finding a GM/Chev electric temp sending unit, though in my case it's for a 12V system. I have tried a number of units for the block that look right and are NOS but don't work. My best guess is that they are designed for a dash warning lamp that is either 'off' or 'on' based on a predetermined temperature. What I need as a variable sending unit to read on the gauge. Any ideas?
