Hi all,
Was driving around first time. The center console gauge that says temp just comes up to the first white line. Doesn't seem to move past that at all when driving for 1/2 hour or so. Is this normal ? And if not. How do I get it to work or function properly for what it's there for? Talking 1973 dual carbs, 2056 Thanks!!! Attached image(s)

Based on your type of gauge, if the needle were going a little past the very first/starting line, you could be approaching 180. I'm not sure how cold it is in your part of Canada right now, but I could believe that number is theoretically possible. If it is right at that line or below, ...then something is probably not right.
I'd make sure it is connected. First I would check the connection under the engine where the sender is....here:(in this pic, it may or may not have a cover on it as well)  If it is connected there, you might make sure that the gauge itself is connected and trace that back .....I THINK it is spliced into the harness a few feet from the console....but hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. |
