heat sensors 120-130

Hmmm, interesting. I just pulled a bunch of parts off of a '63, and I found that the sensor loocated up top, on the right hand side of the head was of the electric variety. At least that's what I think it was... I think it must have been refitted with the new electric type at some point later on? In my frustration and hurry (I had limited time to do the job), I decided to just cut the line going to the guage inside the instrument cluster, because I couldn't get at the rear of the guage to get it loose without some major work to clear a path to it under the dash. The car had sat in a field for ten years and was filled with mouse stuff, mold and piles of junk, so it wasn't too pleasant trying to squirm into position under there.

So, anyway, I was hoping I could take the sensor unit and re-graft it back into my non-working heat temp circuit in one of my project cars. I noticed that the line was of a braided-like outer sheath, with an innner core. What's going on with this special-seeming construction?

Also... what of the sensor with the capillary tube looking line that was under the carbs, lower down on the engine block on the right hand side (when sitting inside)?

Thanks...
