Does anyone know of a six volt sending unit that could be installed on the left water pump of a 1936 Ford to operate a six volt StewartWarner-type aftermarket temperature gauge ? I have been able to locate only 12 volt senders and gauges so far. As a further problem, the threaded portion of the available sending units is much larger than the threaded hole in the top of the 1936 left water pump. Thoughts? Comments? Recommendations?

You might consider an aftermarket bulb type temp gauge. The bulb can be installed in a hose, or into the radiator top tank by soldering in a fitting for the bulb. Finding six volt anything today is rare.

What about using a temperature gauge which has an old-style capillary tube as a sending unit, rather than an electrical one? As long as the threaded end of it could be adapted to screw into the left water pump housing, would this not be a workable solution? The '36 in question is a Touring A vehicle, so having vintage aftermarket under-dash Stewart Warner gauges is not an issue.

Grant, that would certainly work, but you need to find the correct adapter and a gauge with a small enough bulb on the end of the tube to go into the adapter.

You could also try to convert this Model A gauge and sender to your car. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/1920 Tom
