I've been seeing a temperature mismatch of about 20 degrees between my temp gauge and an actual thermocouple reading through the dipstick tube. Seems like the 911 temp gauge/sender mismatch is pretty common from what I've been reading. I've been using the standard 914 sender.
My gauge is a combination of various elements and therefore the actual whole gauge number cannot be used as a reference. Am I to understand that the temperature module was built in November 1980 as per the picture below? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)   I found this chart either here or Pelican.  If my temp gauge was build in late 80, then I need to get a 911 606 112 sender.  Will this fit in the standard taco plate or is it too long? I've been seing a lot of comments about late temp gauges being numberless which makes me wonder if I actually do have a 1980-81 gauge... |

But the numbered range shown on that gauge does not seem to be correct for the '81 gauge, or any of the non-numbered gauges. I recall that the only one that topped at 340 or so did not start as low as 80. Thought it started at 140. Since this one has numbers on it, it must have been refaced, and I wonder if the face is the correct scale for the gauge itself.

I will remove it tonight to see if there are 2 layers on the face. |
