We've rebuilt, overhauled or replaced everything to make it run very nicely. My one problem is the temperature sending unit is missing. My cylinder head is drilled and tapped for a 9/16" thread sending unit; the only replacement units I've been able to locate are 3/4" thread. My wiring harness has the "L" shaped two prong plug. Anybody know where I can find the correct sending unit?

You may need to drill and tap your head or switch to a mechanical gauge..
