A couple of electrical issues

Graham, I think this is the choke light. the choke lever on my '73 car has a sensor switch at the lever end. Even though no choke cable is attached, it will cause the light to illuminate when pulled. Got me this one after cleaning the inside of the car!

Graham, I am not near my car at the moment, but there is a oil temp sender in the sump casting. It is close to the gear linkage universal joint, just to the right as you look towards the rear. It may be obscured from casual view by the forward engine mounting rectangular section chassis cross member. I think my oils temp sender cable comes off the loom which is clamped to the oval cross-member at the bulk head. Loom comes down right car sill and behind the right fuel tank.
sorry don't have photos to hand. check some of the gear linkage resetting posts I submitted as the cable may be spotted.

On my car this is the choke light. It doesn't have a switch as we know it. From memory it has a connection on the lever only.

The sender unit for the oil temp is above that blanking hole, i am sure i found it when i was under the car!!

Will look sunday when we get her on the road

PS i have a pressy for you as well, something that will come in handy!!!!!!!!

 

Gents,
Here's my Euro Tipo E the first time I put 'er up on the rack. You can clearly see the same green wire that you referred to, Graham, & follow it to the sender located between the shifter shaft boot and the motor mount bracket (sender is partially hidden by the crossmember).

I've since replaced the coolng pipes & all hoses (including the long ones), the missing heat shield(s), the rubber connectors on the fuel tank crossover pipe, the wires from the alternator to firewall mounted fuse block and have adjusted the clutch linkage (you can see the bellcrank is not in the proper position) so I'm no longer fighting the coil spring...the pedal feels sooo much better (again, John C.s Sagas were put to good use)..., lubed the clutch cable and replaced the rubber boots. And that's just to tidy up what you see in this picture. Lotsa other squares filled, too. But that's the stuff of another thread.

'trust this helps you find the sender on yours, Graham...or NOT.
Cheers,
Coop

Graham,
I was thinking we'd have to blame it on Luigi or Guido for forgetting to drill & tap the case! That would be a first!

And, yes, that's an amazingly tight seal, considering the material and the process. Just be thankful that your drip didn't turn into a deluge!!
