The left one is a mechanical temp gage sending unit, The middle one, I'm not sure what part your asking about. The right one looks like an electrical Oil pressure sending unit.

The plug in the second picture is where the fitting in the first picture would normally be placed. If it isn't long enough to reach, it is probably because the car originallly has a six cylinder in it and their placement was more near the rear of the head.
Tom Not sure what I was thinking, tri fives had electric water temp didn't they? Picture #1 must be an aftermarket guage. Last edited by toms57; 10-11-2010 at 10:08 AM.. Reason: Brain fade! |

Your 1st pic is the temp sensing part of your stock 55 gauge and goes in the rear driver side of your intake providing you have a correct 55 intake. The 2nd pic is a plug that should not be in a 55 intake. The 3rd pic is the oil pressure sending unit for an oil light.
