Can the stock temp gauge out of a 1951 chevrolet work with a new style 1987 350 temp sensor.It looks like the old gauge used some kind of metal line/tube. and the 350 has a electrical type sensor.
Also my 350 sits a little low in the engine bay. The center of the fan is about even with the bottom of the old stock I6 1951 radiator maybe an 1" or so above that at most. will this setup be fine if the truck is driven at highway speeds for any hour or so? or should i switch over to electric fans?
