02 is the one you require for the Omix- 17209 Ada thermometer Only know for sure that it works with the open back style meter, which does not have a back can cover. Their pictures show cans, just like the ones used on the original Jeep CJ5, but the ones I got didn't have any. Don't worry if your ohm meter shows a very high reading if you only measure the resistance on the sensor. The 17209 is a unique number. Due to its internal resistance of about 79 ohm to ground, the value of the 05 meter will be drastically reduced. It's the same 3/8" thread that came standard on my 1972 Jeep CJ5, and it'll fit right over your Jeep's existing wire and connection. I had tried several different temperature sensors that came close to working on my Jeep, but this one was a perfect fit and gave the same reading as the original.
I've used this sending unit before and it worked perfectly fine. When the time comes to install it, I expect it to work well. That time will come when more priorities in the intended vehicle's repair/restoration will be addressed. It will also be used in conjunction with an OMIX Ada temperature gauge.
My Jeep, a 1984 CJ7 with a 258 engine, did not fit. I found another sensor listed that I bought even though Amazon said it did not fit my Jeep; it is about 3/8" thread and needs to be a 5/8" part; it is about 3/8" thread and needs to be a 5/8" part; I found another sensor listed that I bought even though Amazon said it did not fit my Jeep; it is about 3/8" thread and needs to be a 5/8" part; I found another sensor listed that I bought even though Amazon.
I am pleased with my purchase.

It arrived, was reasonably priced, and was exactly what I had requested; however, I was unable to use it because I had ordered the incorrect item.
