Reply to "Temp gauge goes to 120 and stops"

robertvegasMember

Mechanic said the gauge only went to 160 (probably what I was calling 120) when grounded. He said he pulled the 10 amp (or whatever) resistor off, tested again, and it pegged.

He will fire up the car and expects the temp to go above the previous sticking point. He will check the temp on the gauge vs. the gun and see how we are doing.

Does that resister (is it a resistor?) even belong on the 230 gauges, or where they putting it on every car to bring the temp down back in the day?

Regardless, I should know more soon. Waiting for my new plug wires to be installed so we can fire it up.
