I have a late 72 Pre L with a 260 deg temp gauge. I don’t think the gauge is reading correctly. I’ve read that the system was inaccurate at best from the factory, and used a 10ohm resistor. I read an article by Bill Taylor suggesting removing that resistor and the sensor and replacing the sensor with either of 2 sensors he determined worked well with the original gauge. Problem is that neither suggested sensor is available anymore. Any suggestions on how to restore accuracy to my original gauge?

Pantera Electronics Temperature Gauge Compensator works great with my 260-degree gauge and Standard Motor Products TS58 sending unit. In fact, all the Pantera Electronics products are great!
