I have an original 67 with the early 1275 with downflow radiator and temp
sender in the rad.
Thanks

Lin,
Most of the 1275 cars that I have seen have the temperature sensor in the
side of the engine, not in the radiator. I think it is common for those who
install a 1275 into a BE to keep the original BE radiator which is different
than the radiator that came with the 1275s.
The 1275 cars used cross flow radiators. The BE used a downflow radiator
with a big tank at the top. Your radiator is original BE but NOT original
1275.
Cheers!!
Jim
