Just wanted to put out there, my 1030 engine temp sensor died, I was able to find one through Messicks, I did not reach out to John S. but the price tag Messicks had was a bit scary, like 125 buck plus shipping! I did some searching and digging here at work and figured out that a Chevy truck one from the 80's (I went small block but I think Big block is the same sender) has all the same resistance specs, the only issue is the wire connection on the GM one is that slip on sprue thing where the Case one is just a ring, pretty easy fix, the GM sender is like 15 bucks, installed it after some other issues, apparently someone had a gorilla tighten the sender, had a 16 inch pipe wrench and 4 foot of pipe on it to get it to come loose, all works as it should and the gauge agrees with my infrared temp gun!
