Electrical Tech / Temperature Gauge Sender Location
I've got a '54 Ford Sedan that P.O. swapped a 5.0 from an '88 Cougar into.  I don't know anything more about the donor vehicle (as in digital vs. buttstuffog cluster).

The temp gauge is good but recently stopped working.  The only temp sensor I can find is a two-wire device, next to the distributor.  It also tests good, I have been told this only feeds data to the computer.

My questions - Did an '88 Cougar have a separate temp sender for the gauge?  If so, where would it be located?  The only places I don't have good visibility to are under the intake and at the back of the block (engine sits very close to firewall) but I don't see any likely wires coming from those areas.

Thanks,
Brad
