(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hi guys, pulled the meter outta my donor car-it has a factory temp guage inside the left dash guage--question--can I hook this up using the same sensor as the one with the guages in the center console??

Or do I need a specific sending unit???

The old gauges don't really correspond with the new VDO senders, even if you match temp ranges, like the 150c or 200c.

I calibrated mine in the kitchen. Just get a 12 volt power supply and boil some water. This calibrates you to 212 deg F which is boiling temp at sea level.
