<VV> Temp Sensor Check

[Matt Nall]

Hi - What is the process of checking the head temp. sensor to see if it's 
operational? I did not see a test procedure in the shop manual.  This is on a 
1966 110 HP Monza. Thanks. 

============================================================


  You need a calibrated oven and fixture to do it properly...  BUT


If you have a newer digital oven....... attach 2 wires...one to terminal and  clamp the other to the threaded portion..


put Temp switch in center of oven with 2 wires  hanging out the closed door.


Turn oven on and  with an ohmmeter connected to the two wires.....  see what temp the internal contact closes....  SB  475f -525F  depending on model.


NOTE:  as they age they trigger at a lower temp.... fail safe!!
