Factory gauge help??
Does anyone know what the range of a 1972 c10 temperature gauge ohm range is?? Thanks in advance.

Re: Factory gauge help??
I stole this from another site, hope it helps..
"03-09-11 07:26 AM - Post#2058429 In response to BC1972 Using a resistance/capacitance substitution box I took some readings on a good gauge at various ohm inputs. The box I have generates discreet values of resistance. ( I was attempting to mimic the sending units output). Ohm input value/ gauge reading 47 ohms/ pegged gauge 68 ohms/ reads past half way 100 ohms/ reads 1/3 from cold mark 220 ohms/ reads cold Any ohm input above 220 ohms reads cold. If your sending unit resistance goes up when heated then it is the wrong one. It is easy to test by warming it up while reading the resistance. Your sending unit should have resistance readings close to the values that I used on the R/C box."
