It dosent say that it comes with the sender?


Will this work on a stock 1973 2.0 in place of the original gauge.

Same wires? Could it be plug and play?

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.

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.
