I know I've seen it posted before, but for the life of me I can't find it.
Can someone please let me know the temperature range on the stock oil temp gauge? I'm trying to decide if I can just use the stock gauge to watch the oil temp on my 2366, or if I need to get one that has "real" numbers on it. Thanks in advance. |

I found that when I tipped my gauge up, there was a range written at the very top.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
So the "redline" starts at 316°F (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Looks like I should invest in a gauge with a little more resolution. Can I use the existing wiring and sender with an aftermarket VDO? |

Sender will need to match gauge scale. If you use the 911 300 degree scale you will need the 911 sender.

Looking again, my gauge is a different than yours. Here is a pic of mine, there aren't any temp numbers on mine.

QUOTE(VWTortuga336 @ Nov 23 2015, 09:53 AM)  Looking again, my gauge is a different than yours. Here is a pic of mine, there aren't any temp numbers on mine. I have been mucking around with these gauges for a while,I think the one you have reads to 150C,this is a pic of one I built;  .Yours is unmarked in the upper part of the insert but i'am fairly sure it is 150C max and you can run a 100C sender with it. Now I have a 77 911 one which is more correct for my -6 conversion,300F and works with 150C VDO sender. |
