Hi guys,
I have an LS1 V-8 conversion, and I'm using the console oil temp. gauge for coolant temp. instead. My problem is that when it's running at normal temperatures, the needle is at about 9/10ths, just short of the red region on the gauge face. I'd like it to be at about 2/3rds. Is it as simple as putting a resistor between the sensor and gauge, and how would I figure out the value of such a resistor? An adjustable pot? Thanks!! |

Remove your coolant sensor and put him into boiling water. So you have 100 degrees Celsius and with an potentiometer you can adjust your gauge as you want.
If finishes you ca measure with an ohmmeter wich resistor you need. |
