CUCV rear cylinder head coolant temp port

[cucvrus]

I am going to take this piece over to my friend at the machine shop and see if he can duplicate it. I will get 10 made and see what price he comes up with. Let me know if that is something anyone here would want. The direct drive starter support brackets he made are very popular and working nicely for a few members.
. These are useful for installing a water temperature gauge sending unit. Happy Holidays to all members.

Good stuff, 'rus. I'm interested in getting one. I want to put a temp gauge in mine. I'm not even going to spend any time on "thought and self-evaluation" over it!

 

[AECS]

How much and when do they ship? I need to have it soon or I will have to drill and tap the cross over as I am moving cross country 9 Jan.

 

[Sharecropper]

I'll take one. Let me know how much and to whom.

 

[Warthog]

Okay guys, please send PMs saying you want one. This is not a classified ad (yet).

Since this is a discontinued item from GM, it is a great idea to make some. I would also make a few that are solid.

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

Is it okay if he posts back here with the price that his machinist quotes, so we have a ballpark idea?

 

[cucvrus]

OK this may be the end of this thread. I dropped off the piece at the machine shop. He said $30+. I am thinking like $35. + $2. shipping. I did not give the go ahead. I will await the replies. It is custom work and I figured it was a good price if that is what route you want to go for a temperature gauge. Please advise. Yea or Nay.

I don't know if this will be allowed but i'm just trying to help out fellow cucv'ers. they do have them on ebay for about 15.00 shipped.

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

Well, no point in having them made for 30 bucks if they can be bought for 15.

 

[cucvrus]

OK then I take it as Nay. No problem. I don't need any myself. I was trying to help out and drum up some business at the same time. I will not have them made. I never saw them on Ebay. That is fine. Thank you.
I went and looked again on Ebay. Do you have the listing # for other members?

 

[Zenk]

Just search for "14028949" in eBay.

 

[Sharecropper]

Say, would anyone happen to have the GM part number for the gauge sending unit?

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

Found it on Buy It Now for 10 bucks.

Ordered one. I'll report back on the quality.

The coolant temp sender for the idiot light is 25037177

Thanks Warthog, but I need the GM part number for the gauge sending unit so I can install a gauge. This information is not in the TMs.

 

[Warthog]

Napa shows this one: ECH TS6641

http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...-Sender-Switch-Gauge/_/R-ECHTS6641_0162092905

I'll see if I can find the GM number

How about this

GM 2134792, 2134793 or D1885 (found these on Rockauto)

IIRC, We determined that the gauge wire harness is not the same as the light harness.

Also, I think we determined that the cucv gauge flex circuit is not the same either.

 

[Sharecropper]

OK, I picked up the threaded flange on Ebay. Does anybody know a source for the gasket?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

[Drock]

Just make your own . They sell rolls of paper gasket material at advanced.

Thanks in advance for your help.

IIRC, same gasket as the coolant crossover. #23500846, page 20 part #5, and 84 part #9 in the -34P.

NAPA cross reference = FPG 35357, http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Water-Outlet-Gasket/_/R-FPB35357_0438970807

RockAuto = Fel Pro 35357

etc.

Hope this helps.
