56-59 temp gauge and sender
i want to temporarily swap out my temp gauge, what ohms is the stock 56-59 temp sender rated?
does anyone make a round temp gauge compatible with the old sensor?

100º F 441.6-294.4 ohms, 220º F 88-72 ohms
TU5 sender was used from the 50's to the late 70's |

Re: 56-59 temp gauge and sender
copper line was 55, 56 thru 59 went to that new fangled electricity stuff
does anyone make a round temp gauge compatible with the old sensor?
