I gave up on electrical temp gauges. The new ones have a different Resistance value. A mechanic said some mumbojumbo about using a couple [1/4W?] resistors in parallel, but, as an electrician, I knew that one would be marginally longer than the other, and create a bias. Putting a Mechanical Temperature gauge in its place is not difficult. Advantages are:
1] Better, more accurate temp indication
2] Works even when power is off.
3] Packrats can't chew thru the wires.
4] Lasts a long time.
5] Looks cool.
Gauges shown are -- Auto Gage Tach on Steering Column. Stewart-Warner Water Temp, Moon Manifold Vacuum, AutoMeter Oil Ppessure.

Yup! I agree. I also run a mechanical temperature gauge as. Works fine for me to monitor the temperature.
