coolant temp sender question for 85 BRAT Gl

[bheinen74]

this question will be quick and easy i hope.

I got a used intake for my Weber carb, both will be replacing the stock hitachi and stock intake.

I was looking things over, the stock intake temperature sender (located on the intake runner near the thermostat housing)has 2 prongs for the wire plug on the car. the replacement i am using has 1 prong on the sensor. So my question is will the 1 prong one be okay. Its my guess that the feedback carb model had the 2 prongs, one for the guage and one for the computer; and that the non feedback had the single prong. So, since I am going Weberized, can i use the 1 pronger and not harm anything, or will i need to swap sensors..

If you go to rockauto and pull up their cooling section on the 85 Brat they show temp sender in both sinlge prong and one with 2 prong. Will my BRAT be okay using only the single pronger sender when i go weberized

thanks

You are correct on all accounts. The single prong CTS will work fine to run your gauge.
