Recently switched from the stock 230 degree Veglia gauge to a 260 degree Veglia and I am getting bad readings. According to Wilkinson, a resistor needs to be added to the red/black wire and they are out of them.

Does anyone have one or know where else to get one? Guidance on what the resistance is supposed to be???

Any help is appreciated.

Chip,
I think I still have some from a five pack. I think it cost about 12 cents from Radio Shack.

I will send you one, free, don't worry about the cost.

I have your address. All i have to do is remember to look for it tonight.

The inline resistor is 10 ohms 1/2 watt.

This is from SOBill regarding the resistor;

Read the temp gauge article at http://www.panteraplace.com/page205.htm.
If your 260 gauge is like the 260 gauge I tested, you will be more accurate without the resistor.

If you feel you need the resistor, it can go next to the gauge. Attached is a picture of the OEM resistor housing. The big white tubular thingie contains the resistor. It does not come apart.


Let me know how the gauge works without (or with) the resistor.

Have fun,
