(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hi guys, pulled the meter outta my donor car-it has a factory temp guage inside the left dash guage--question--can I hook this up using the same sensor as the one with the guages in the center console??
Or do I need a specific sending unit??? |

The old gauges don't really correspond with the new VDO senders, even if you match temp ranges, like the 150c or 200c.
I calibrated mine in the kitchen. Just get a 12 volt power supply and boil some water. This calibrates you to 212 deg F which is boiling temp at sea level. Attached image(s) |

I just bought the numbered 911 module and matched sender from automotion last week. I plan on installing it next weekend.
I think its the way to go if you don't mind reading the numbers vertically. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Cool, thanks--if you could--tell me the posts on the back and which go to which--my haynes doesn't list it--mine has three terminals--but they only say numbers--I know which one is power, but which is sense and ground? |

J - I can slip away around 3PM Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri this week. I've been working at Opa Locka since Wednesday - I get out of there w/ a head ache.
Let me know and we can hook up - I didn't make closing time for the push rod tube seals. But my brother is picking it up for me tomorrow. I would love to get her back, again, I'm putting her back FI version. The webber's went up another $100 ($900.....) I will call you tomorrow when I'm on break.

I believe that the stock sender for the center console mounted temp gauge is the same as the stock sender for the combo-gauge mounted temp gauge. Even if it isn't, it doesn't really matter. After all, you don't have any actual temperatures on the stock gauges, so a little mis-calibration won't really matter much.
Connections on the back of the gauge should read "S" "+", and a ground symbol made up of three lines stacked on top of each other to form a triangle. The "S" might be "12". Anyway, hook power (red/white) to "+", hook ground (brown) to the ground symbol, and hook the signal wire (green/black) to the "S" terminal. --DD |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Thanks Dave! After scrutinizing it and really looking at it closely- ( magnifying glass ) I could discern the symbols--cool, thanks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)
