Here is a matched 911 sender & gauge but they want $200
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...%34%2D%38%39%29 Does anyone know if I can use the 914 sender (free) or do I have to use the 911 sender for $67? Are the threads the same? Thanks David |

You can bench wire it with the 914 sender and see if it responds to heating the sender. If it goes up you can use the 914 sender. If you have a later 911 gauge the sender works opposite. I think the early senders decreased in resistance as the temperature increased. Later senders increased in resistance as the temp increased. |

I have a couple of 911 senders but I think they are the early type. I think that temp gauge was not used in 911 until 74 so you are probably going to need the 911 sender. |
