So my Fiero died... (Page 12/12) Cliff Pennock SEP 11, 07:40 AM So last week I ordered the TS15001 from Walmart (because their website said they had it in stock and it was cheap), today I received an email they canceled my order because they do not have it in stock and apparently, it will not be restocked. quote Originally posted by sleek fiero: Yes the TS 168 standard is the one I used . I also used a mechanical test gauge to check the accuracy of my dash gauge and they were very close over the whole sweep up to running temp. Hang in there Cliff . You will get it all straightened up. If you want Email me and I will grab you a standard TS 168 and send it to you by priority mail or FedEx seeing how I can't buy you a beer ! sleek I'm going to try to order it from Summit Racing first; if for any reason that fails too, I might take you up on your offer! Thanks! Patrick SEP 11, 06:23 PM quote Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: I'm going to try to order it from Summit Racing first... I don't know how well the shipping fee (including brokerage etc) from Summit Racing compares, but in my experience, RockAuto's shipping fee to an international location can't be beat. I'm not sure why you're focusing on the Delphi sender, but This is the one I'd order. Raydar SEP 11, 07:40 PM I'll add, that when you get the new sender, do not use teflon tape on the threads. I would use plumbers' compound. The Teflon can insulate the body of the sender from ground. You're more likely to get a good connection through the plumbers compound.

Yes, I suddenly realized that whilst I was checking out on the Summit site. I buy all my "small" parts from RockAuto and their shipping costs have always been more than reasonable. So I'm not sure why I hadn't checked them first. Fortunately I hadn't finalized my order at Summit yet, so I was able to check out the prices @ RockAuto. quote I'm not sure why you're focusing on the Delphi sender, but This is the one I'd order. At RockAuto, I was actually planning on ordering the TS 168. Would yours be a better choice?

I've had a few Wells components that seemed like decent quality... but no, I think they're probably equivalent. And they're the same price, so flip a coin and pick one. Vintage-Nut SEP 12, 09:44 AM Perhaps you didn't noticed Cliff, however I posted: The original GM 25036809 Sensor has the same HS125CM-12V printed on the body as the Standard Ignition TS-168 Sensor. I suggest the Standard Ignition TS-168 Sensor over other aftermarket brands like Delphi TS10051. Plus is very important as Raydar also said; Do Not Use 'Sealing Tape' (Teflon tape) on the Sensor Threads - the Sensor Threads Connects 'Ground' to the Engine. I used high temp RTV; Raydar likes plumbers' compound. sleek fiero SEP 12, 10:06 AM Locktite has a liquid Teflon that is meant for automotive / industrial use that lubricates and seals and does not harden. Teflon tape and plumbers paste are just that -----meant for plumbing. The Locktight product is good for oil , antifreeze and air and works in extremes of temperature. it also allows for electrical conductivity. sleek Cliff Pennock SEP 12, 10:30 AM quote Originally posted by Vintage-Nut: Perhaps you didn't noticed Cliff, however I posted: Yes I did read that. However, having the memory of a goldfish, I did not remember it. 😁
