I have a 71 with the old style gauge with the larger red band for the HOT Zone. this gauge among others was recently restored and calibrated for a 200 degree temperature sender from the Taco Plate location.
Debacle: Once installed, the gauge does little or nothing until fully warmed up. Then, at that point the needle is barely past the ice-cold tick mark on the gauge face / maybe a 1/16" beyond its starting point. I am on my second brand new sender to eliminate that as the cause. The test for the gauge is to ground the sender lug to the body, turn the key and watch the needle hammer the far right side of the red zone.... which it does. Does anyone know if the gauge of the wire matters from sender to back-of-gauge? or any other illusive issues I am missing? My lovely wife loves the 914 and would rather drive it than our 993 so this must be fixed..... Thanks to all. |
