1975 temp sensor replacement 318ci question intake manifold

[JWKetron]

Good day,

Recently discovered the factory 1975 temp sensor that sits on top of the intake manifold has gone bad due to age. I have a replacement on hand. Is this a plug and play unit? I figure just need to drain some coolant, unscrew the original and screw in n the new replacement, put the electronic cap on. Tried to search in the factory chassis book with no success. Pictures attached of intake and new sensor.

NO ! You're wrong ! You must use a Hewlett-Packard 5710-A dual-column gas chromatograph with flame analyzation detectors. Get a floor-model that's turbocharged. ( Just do what you posted... that's all. )

I have some concern about the teflon tape on that sender. Many times that tape will not give you a good ground reference. When you get it installed, if you have a digital ohm meter, test from the brass nut (not the stud) to neg post on the battery. Hopefully you will have zero or close to it on your meter.
If not, your gauge will not give you a correct reading.
Personally, I like bare threads on any of those senders.

Replacement sensor works like a charm, I can now see the temp of the engine. Thanks for the help.
