Reply to ""Adjusting" water temp gauge"

panterachrisMember

I am having "Da ja Vu" all over again, Indy Dave is providing you with lots of info, but the bottom line is the gauge does not require a resistor, a 1972 Torino is the same sender. The only way to get good and accurate readings on the original gauges is to replace them! Auto Meter can make a almost identical looking gauge set for your car for about 1000.00 . On the root question,"what is" the best way never to overheat? My personal recommendation is to instal a oil cooler, they are inexpensive and it eliminates the problem. That is assuming you have a adequate rdiator.www.autometer.com
