'56 Coupe Deville project

[J. Gomez]

If I may ask,  how or where did you find out what the total resistance is supposed to be on the sensor? I couldn't find anything about the sensor in the  FSM other than the wiring diagram and a brief description of its function.

When I had mine in pieces I took a measurement of the left over wires after I removed them from the thermostat the reading I took were approximately since they were in several pieces.

Jose,
Ok, I think you nailed it with the smaller Jellif wire. I just ordered some,  10 feet actually. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have extra if it ever became necessary.
I don't know why I didn't see it in the first link you gave me. Guess I didn't look far enough.

  I want to thank you for all your help on this.  There's no way I could have found all the information on my own. You've been a life saver.
If there's anything I can help you with, please just ask. I'll let you know how the repair goes.

Hey Rick
Great reading these posts. I am new to all this but have loved Cadillacs since my teen years my Dad had a 58, a 57, a 60 and My Fav a 54 Coupe Deville he drove home one Sunday Morning in 1968 after having won it in a Sat. Night poker game. It was white over black and the best looking driving car I have ever driven. And in March I will be 68. So I have driven a lot of different cars in my life. I hope you and the others here will be of help in restoring my 62. Can't wait for warm weather.

Dan.
Be glad to help if I can with information or experience.  I'm no expert though by far.
My first experience with Cadillacs was the '67 convertible my parents had back in the 80's. It made me want one and I found a '69 convertible in '86. I loved this car.  I used it for our honeymoon in '87.
Unfortunately we needed money and had to sell it a few years later to pay some bills.
But now I have "Norma", Norma Jean, otherwise known as Marylin Monroe for you young whippersnappers out there, LOL!
