Do the US-spec temp gauges correspond to a US-spec temp sending unit, likewise a German gauge to a German sending unit? What happens if you use a German gauge with a US sending unit, are the readings accurate, high, or low?

The 911 temp gauge would read incorrectly if you used the 914-4 sender. I don't remember if it would read too high or too low, but it would be off.
The dual pressure senders (i.e., both light and gauge) on the 914 are all aftermarket. I have heard from one source that the resistance range used on the aftermarket senders is the same or "close" to that used by the 911 gauges. I don't know this for a fact, though. If so, you could just plug in a 911 pressure gauge to the aftermarket 914 dual pressure sender. --DD |
