It dosent say that it comes with the sender?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Will this work on a stock 1973 2.0 in place of the original gauge. Same wires? Could it be plug and play? LINK Attached image(s)

I'm not sure what is considered a stock sensor, but I do know that there are different valued senders out there. A 200C sender will read differently than a 150C sender.
Google a sender that is for use with that particular gauge. Go to eGauges.com Pick that VDO gauge and it will have a link to all the senders that work with it. For the Taco plate it looks like p/n 323-055. Which is a 150C/300F value sender. The taco plate is a 14mm thread IIRC. Verify first though. |

It should work, as in "give you a reading".
It will probably read wrong, though. Depends on the resistance range that the gauge expects and the resistance that your sender gives you. They might match, but there's a good chance they won't. --DD |

When I bought one of those VDO oil temp gauges and its matching sender ........ the sender that was already in the taco plate ..... was exactly the same part # as the one I bought ........ so I swapped them just in case the old one was tired.
