Thanks bms, will be following your post for sure.
I just came up with my solution. I drilled out an old VW sensor and screwed and epoxied a toyota sensor into it. Quick and easy.back when I did my swap I considered using the VW sender with the toyota gauge ...I tested each side by side in hot water both hooked to an ohm meter what I found was that the scaling started off very similar but as the temp climbed the vw sender lagged behind the toyota one.... because of this I decided to go with the toyota sender threaded into the coolant outlet at the back of the head.... I was just concerned that the vw sender coupled to the toy gauge would give me a false sense of where the temp actually was.... my dos pesos
Does it still clip into the spot okay? I'm thinking about doing this with an aftermarket gauge sensor, I'm just trying to figure out exactly how I should go about doing it. What kind of epoxy did you use?I just came up with my solution. I drilled out an old VW sensor and screwed and epoxied a toyota sensor into it. Quick and easy.
Congrats on getting it running! The tach output signal will be T121/27. It is green/brown as you suspected.FYI my truck was originally a carb, so my tach used to get its signal from the igntion coil (2ppr i believe).
