Re: Temperature switch for 350 SBC with modern heads

Yes they are. Temp switches are used on warning lights and have a switch inside that operates at a specific temperature. A temp sensor is used on guages and is manufactured to provide resistance that is linear in response to changes in temperature within a specified range. (ie 150 degrees will always equal "X" resistance and 220 degrees will equal "Y" resistance.)
