It seems i have a VDO Oil Temp gauge without the sender. I just saw a taco plate and sender on ebay go for over $150.
Are there any other options? that will incorporate the gauge? So I am stuck with this gauge...Should I try to trade the gauge for cyl head temp gauge and sender? Cheaper? Did all cars have the cyl temp sender? I haven't checked my car. What gauges did the post 73 cars have in the console? Clock, oil temp and voltmeter? |

This is all great info guys, thanks.
Accordingly, i have a VDO cockpit style gauge with the numbers. I didn't know the stock console gauges were not VDO. I am liking the idea of a drain plug sender. I drive pretty easy; not a racer. Is VDO 323-055-M82 the right sender for the taco plate? Can this screw into the drain plug or is it different size? |
