Trying to get my gauge to read more accurately, I tried various resistors, but was not satisfied so I purchased the compensator from Pantera Electronics.
Now the gauge pegs out. I understand the sender could be the wrong one, but got it from Dennis I believe, so figure it's right. Anybody have ideas or experience with the "Compensator" ?

There is a company in New Mexico that can take the Veglia water temperature and oil pressure gauge and convert them over to Stewart Warner internals and use Stewart Warner sending units. A friend of mine had this done with his two gauges on his Pantera and it worked great. I know that isn't the question that you are asking, but I believe it is a better solution then trying to compensate for a gauge/sending unit mismatch. Your problem with the gauge pegging out could be an issue with the wire from the sending unit grounding out somewhere. I don't have any experience with this gauge compensator, but Pantera Electronics makes some very good products.
Since you bought the product from Jon at Pantera Electronics, have you tried calling Jon and asked for his advice? He has always helped me out in the past. If its electric he has a solution lol
RRS1,
Please contact me, I can help.

We've installed dozens of compensators from Jon. Very happy w/the results. You're picking up a ground somewhere. Easy fix.
I was not sure of the origin of my sender so when I purchased the compensator, I also purchased a sender from Jon. Now an accurate reading.
