out of curiosity, is the bulb portion of the sender that goes into the coolant flow shiny brass color, or is it discolored to a greenish tint ? Old one, the 244 unit is discolored, the 196 unit is brand new and shiny.

The C-3826 may be old but it was used for decades as long as the thermal gauges were in use. Based on my 78-81 truck parts book from Mymopar, as late as '78 the IVR was PN 3592899 which superseded PN 2258413 which is the IVR for the thermal gauges that C-3826 was used to test since the early '60's. Bottom line, I think the C-3826 tool is still the tool to use on your '74 and the 244 ohm sender you have is not the stock sender for a '74 Mopar. The values from the '93 FSM are not applicable as Mopar had stopped using thermal gauges by then. He said he is running the 93 cluster and wiring. Magnums had two temperature sensors one for the gauge and one for the computer. Ah Ha!! I missed that. Well, if he is running the '93 instrument cluster and wiring, I can see where there just may be a problem. Without looking at the '93 circuitry my first thought would be that you'd have to run all '93 sensors in the '74. But that's just a guess.

Looks like the TS271 Would be what you need. Time to move the fuel line. Looks like what I will have to do. I have one on order should be here Saturday if the road is passable.

Old one, the 244 unit is discolored, the 196 unit is brand new and shiny. shine up the 244 ohm unit and see what it reads then. wondering how much, if any, the discoloration affects the reading.

I got the 93 spec sender today, checked it and it read 2K ohms, hmm, ok. Installed it, filled with coolant and it looks to be good. Gauge came up pretty quick and read in the normal zone after it got to operating temp. So I'm done futzing with it, I've done more electrical getting everything working on this truck than ever wanted to do in my life If I would have stuck to the original plan of installing the complete fuel injected engine and fuel tank I would probably be done with it already.
