Hi everyone
I have a gauge that I got from Slits to use in my street car I still have not installed it, and its been a few years now my 1st question: -what can you tell me about this gauge? is it 1972 or 1973? silver dot so maybe a really early 73 appearance gauge? I'm not selling this one, just curious and for my own use 2nd questions: -how do I determine if my current senders, or which senders will be needed. Currently I have a -6 fuel/oil temp gauge in the dash its wired to the correct sender in the taco plate it was 20 years ago... so I'll need to pull the sender to find out which model number it is. any way I can tell from the numbers/model of gauge which sender is correct to use with this one ? the fuel side of this "new to me gauge." Its a 914/4 gauge, with a stock 914 fuel tank and sender. I'm betting it is within the correct 90 -0 ohm range since it likely use the stock sender in the fuel tank. How can I verify that, or what do the experts and charts indicate as confirmation? thank you in advance everyone! brant Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Interesting thread and timely for me - I just picked up a 914 641 101 50 and am wondering if I'll need to change my sender. I currently have the "wide-red-band" 914 641 118 20 in the console.
In a perfect world, I'd love to just be able to plug in the new gauge and be good to go - can I be that lucky? also - @brant - Notice there is the "B" symbol under the top section - this tells me this was originally a standard combo gauge and the brake warning section has been replaced with a temp gauge....right? |

I think so? after looking closer at the screw heads, broken green Loctite, different amounts of tarnish... I'm pretty sure the "B" brake warning light is different from a 914 combo gauge. it might have been made out of parts? dunno so It looks like there are really only 2 different oil temp sensors I don't want to drain my fresh oil. so I'm going to get the 300 degree... test it with the gauge in boiling water before install at the next oil change. |
