more gauge questions, what is this one and will it work (gauge experts?) Options

[brant]

Hi everyone

I have a gauge that I got from Slits to use in my street car
I still have not installed it, and its been a few years now

my 1st question:
-what can you tell me about this gauge?
is it 1972 or 1973?

silver dot
so maybe a really early 73 appearance gauge?

I'm not selling this one, just curious and for my own use

2nd questions:
-how do I determine if my current senders, or which senders will be needed.


Currently I have a -6 fuel/oil temp gauge in the dash
its wired to the correct sender in the taco plate
it was 20 years ago... so I'll need to pull the sender to find out which model number it is.

any way I can tell from the numbers/model of gauge which sender is correct to use with this one ?


the fuel side of this "new to me gauge." Its a 914/4 gauge, with a stock 914 fuel tank and sender. I'm betting it is within the correct 90 -0 ohm range since it likely use the stock sender in the fuel tank. How can I verify that, or what do the experts and charts indicate as confirmation?


thank you in advance everyone!

That looks like a stock 1973 914-4 combo gauge. You can tell the difference between 73 and the later years because the "red" zone is much wider, and of course the silver dot. It was slimmed down to a fraction of that in 1974 because people were getting alarmed that their engines were overheating when they weren't.

Chris, do you concur or know if the 4 cylinder combo uses the 200 degree sensor?

Sorry I don't, but I'm sure someone will chime in. Make sure you get the right sensor, the wrong one will read too hot which will freak you out unnecessarily.
