Water temperature sensing switch??

Where can one buy a Water temperature sensing switch 83 280zx n/a? I know it is not going to be called that exact name, but every time I try and look it up I keep getting the water temperature switch (thermal transmitter) for the dash. The one I want has the pigtail wire.

Like this List: Search for 'water temperature switch' | O'Reilly Auto Parts

I have tried rockauto, autozone and a few others.

Thanks Mixon123

Well homes, i think you mean a "Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor" aka CHTS. this sensor is the one that reads off your temp gauge.

You should download the FSM for your year 280zx
