Temp Gauge ohm range?

Post by funkaholik »

Searched posts and the tech wiki, but couldn't find the ohm range for the temp gauge (mine is a 1970, if that matters).

Does anyone know the resistance at cold and at 250 degrees?

Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you.

I knew someone out there had much better search skills than I do.

Then there are the top and bottom of range adjusters on the rear of the gauge housing.
