Not totally OT
I am working on a 66 Impala with factory gauges. The wiring in the engine compartment is like a Vette (so I found after a lot of heartache and checking a wiring diagram). I am having trouble with the temp gauge. Bubba added a solenoid on the firewall. When I tun the ignition to start, it pegs the meter. Vettes had a resistor on the firewall, I believe, that may have handled that prolbem. Anyone know if it is so and the specs on the resistor?
BTW I posted it here 'cause I hang out here and you guys are much more
. . . lively.
