Need Napa Part # for Temp Sending Unit
-
Need the Napa part # for a temp sending unit for a 48 Commodore (262 six). Thanks in advance!
-
Niels I Have a standard TS-4 for my 53. I believe they are the same. Can NAPA cross reference?
-
The '48, '49 & '50 Hudson six used a very different temp sender than the '51 thru '55 - The hole the sender screws into is quite a bit larger than that of the later "wide block" sixes. If you can find a cooperative employee in a parts store, take the old sender with you and they should be able to locate a replacement.

Jerry, thanks for the heads up. Where in the master parts catalog is the sending unit located? I have not been able to find it so that I can see if the parts numbers match. The old swaps book that I have does not list them at all. Ron
-
I found it in the engine H section. You are right the 48-50 use part# F159058. The 51-55 use F304502. Back to the original question...
-
Thanks for the replies.... didn't know the units were different.
-
Neils, when you get an answer please respond back so others can list the new numbers.
-
Good luck finding what you're looking for. If Dave Kostanek doesn't have it, then it probably is impossible to find. I think I got mine from Ken Ammons, but I'm not sure. It could have been the other guy in NY whose name escapes me right now. I think it was his last one.

I've been looking ever since this post started and finally found my old list of part numbers. The number I have for Temperature Sending Units, 1939 thru 1950 is Guaranteed Parts Co. No."TSU28" (this was a good number back in 1988). I'm not sure this information will do us any good at this time, but it is at least a number to try to trace back thru current parts interchange books.

I sure hope you're right about this part number as I just ordered the last one from Rock Auto as a wholesaler closeout. Apparently it's the same part for a the 1966-68 Ford Bronco, etc. In any event, these puppies are selling on ebay for 24.99. I'm not telling what I paid for this one. -
I called NAPA and they crossed Guaranteed Parts Co. No."TSU28" to TS6153. Price $9.49 plus tax. It looks like it will work, but I have not tried it.

Okay, you beat it out of me. I bought the last TSU28 for $3.40 plus shipping. Came to a little over seven bucks. It should be here tomorrow. -
Yup... took my old one down to Napa and TS6153 is what we found that worked. Al Saffron was dead on when I called him. He thought a Ford unit would work... damn, he is smart! My temp guage still doesn't work so probably is the wire....
