Hey guys, this switch or sensor (the one with the green wire coming out of it) apparently was pretty worn out and snapped off when I was pulling out a wire from the distributor cap. Does anyone know what it is? It sticks straight up off the pipe that connects into that side of the cylinder head.
 A closer look...

Generally 2 wires on that back housing in coolant temp. One wire is fan switch. The gauge sensor is typically much smaller and is single wire... usually between head/block water passage. The engine will run fine generally with a bad coolant temp sensor when warm... ****ty when cold.
