Bruce,
>Might be there to dampen the sensors response.
Generally, an ECT doesn't need to be protected from the coolant by the =
use of a well, correct? At least, that's what I can see in the shop =
manual for my vehicle - no well.
However, my engine supports a Whipple supercharger. Perhaps, as you =
describe, it's part of the system requirements related to Whipple's =
specific PROM in the PCM.
Although, the Whipple installation instructions make no mention of using =
a well to connect the ECT to their manifold.
Sounds like another question for Whipple, eh?
Thanks,
Bob

Might be there to dampen the sensors response.
ie be there to cover for not enough filtering in the code, and =
resultant timing/fuel corrections, that result in a lack of smoothness =
in the way the engine runs.

I pulled out my coolant sensor while working to replace my water =
pump and thermostat.
Strange (?), the sensor is mounted in an extension. The aluminum =
extension has what looks to be a sensor on the end of it. When I =
seperated the two, the actual sensor looks normal except for what looks =
like a little lithium grease inside the extension where the actual =
sensor resides.
What's odd, is that the threads on the extension are the same size =
threads on the sensor.
Why would this combination exist? Am I missing something, here?
Can I dump the extension and just put only the sensor back in the =
block?
Does anyone have any incite into this combination/situation?
Thanks,
Bob
