Temperature sensor 70hp

[acarter92]

I would like to install a temperature sensor on my 86' 70hp 3 cylinder. I would like to be able to mount in on my dash and prefferably set an alarm temperature.

What type should I be looking at? Doesn't need to be dead on accurate, just want to know if it would happen to overheat.

Thanks,
Austin

Does the factory overheat sensor not work or are you wanting some type of guage instead of a horn?

I wasn't aware it had an overheat sensor, but I would imagine it works if it's there. If that's the case then I guess I don't need a guage.

Look on the cylinder head for a tan colored wire, disconnect it, turn the key to ON and ground the wire from the harness and the overheat horn should sound off in the control box.
#74 is the sensor.
