71 Centurion

I need the clip that holds the temp sensor inside the air cleaner.... does anyone know where I can get one??

 

GM part number = 3977168

Click image to buy it from Jerry Hammer for $10.00


EDIT:
It says out of stock on the website

 

That's the one for the FB 59 breather element .

 

I have some at the other garage I will send you next week when I go up there . They are used .

 

In that case, here's just the clip from the eBay listing above for $11 at The Parts Place

But....... it says "This part is not compatible with the 1971 Buick Centurion Base 7.5L 7456CC 455Cu. In. V8 GAS OHV Naturally Aspirated."

 

My thoughts exactly.
I even changed the car model into a LeSabre and Electra, but same results.

By the way:


"This part is compatible with 1 vehicle(s) matching 1971 Buick Skylark Base 7.5L 7456CC 455Cu. In. V8 GAS OHV Naturally Aspirated."

 

Or they didn't bother/forgot to add the Centurion (and LeSabre + Electra to the list in the eBay advertisment.
eBay also lists cars like a Buick Electra 225 Wagon, next to the Estate Wagon

 

There is a slight difference to the ones on the market . Some of the sensors vacuum ports are a bit further apart than others . Its no big deal . A small Rat tail file used on the air cleaner itself opens it up a bit . The clip works in either sensor .
