When I had my dash apart during restoration my temp gauge had two resistors wired in line with electrical tape. My guess is that this was dealer installed lol nice job. Long story short I installed an aftermarket mechanical temp gauge in the engine compartment so I can see it thru the rear window. I installed the sensor in the coolant tank. I monitor both gauges to avoid false readings. A resistor will help make the gauge more accurate.
