The Veglia water temperature gauge and the Ford water temperate sending unit were never a correct match. I have never heard of anyone that has been able to locate the correct sending unit for the Veglia gauge that is used in a Pantera. I know someone that tried a Ferrari sending unit and it didn't work. The Ford dealers would sometimes install a resister in the line between the water temperature sending unit and the gauge and that would reduce the indicated gauge temperature. If you want to maintain the look of the Veglia water temperature and oil pressure gauge, there is a company in New Mexico that can install Stewart Warner gauge internals and a matched sending unit. I have a friend that did it to his Pantera and he is totally happy with the results. He has the original Veglia gauge look and with accurate readings.
