what ?????????????????
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

Bryan, I'm going to have to echo Skippy's thoughts on this one...What are you asking for?

I have a 92 and my sending unit looks like that with one exception,
Instead of the flat piece on the picture mine has a round flat disc like end
and the plastic clip on the wire slides onto it and is suppose to lock but doesn't ( probably melted some)

DJ, what you describe is what my 89 Astro has for the temperature gauge sender. It's also very easy to slide the sensor wire off...gotta be careful when working around the temperature sender.
