I have a '74 oil temperature combo gauge for a 2.0 liter but dont have a sending unit. I know you have to have one with the right ohm output or something or it won't work. I believe the original sender unit is part 039-919-268 which is long out of production. Someone suggested part 901 641 632 00 as a replacement. I think that one originally goes with a 914-6 combo gauge or a '74 or newer 911. Does anyone know for sure if that will work? Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated?

I'm sure there is a sender out there for your gauge. I went a different route and bought this from ebay for 50 bucks.
I then dissembled the new gauge and stuffed it into my old fuel gauge. It actually fits very well. If you already have a true combo gauge, then this may be even easier. I had to print off a new gauge face, you can just reuse yours. BTW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

That looks great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)! what does it look like from the gauge rear? is it closed up completely? |

I don't have a picture showing the back, but its stock looking and closed up. Being that the ebay unit is VDO, it pretty much walked straight in without any issue. |
