[V8] Sensors? Still No Hot Start

[Kneale Brownson]

The sensor part numbers are the same for all the V8s.  I don't know 
about the ones you got off FleaBay, but I've used the 5k version 
successfully in a V8.  If your "mechanic" shaved the ends of the sensors 
to fit (a process I cannot understand) he may have rendered them useless.
