What exactly are you searching for? I don't understand "apprentice". Willcox has a tech article on their adjustable gauge if that is what you are looking for.

Sorry, that was supposed to be apparatus. Unfortunately you cannot edit your title. It is some type of resister that you can add to the wiring of the gauge or to the sender

This is the one I mentioned. You might call then and ask if they have anything for the 57, if that is the car you are asking about.

Cheapest thing is a volume switch from an electrical parts store that measures between 0 & 100 ohms.

Actually you can edit the title.
Go into edit, then I believe its advanced edit, or something similar will allow title mods.

Thanks Doug. I tried that but it only changes the title at the top of the first post but not the title that shows when surfing the forum, unless I missed something.
