Oil temp gauge
Can any one tell me what resistance should be for the 81-82 oil temp gauge resister?

Thanks Ernie, I knew you would have the answer. Where can I get one? I could go to radio shack and make one up, but an oem one would be easier.

Boy.. that's gonna cost you...
I'm thinking maybe a bottle of Canadian Club or something... LOL..
Give Norm a call tomorrow and I'll dig you one up. Of all the colors I think I have an extra green.
If you need one today.. you'd have to find a radio shack that carries resistors.. Then solder two ends on the end and insulate the bottoms.. Then install.. Very do-able.. but a pita..

And where exactly might that resistor need to go?
FWIW, I have most everything together for installing an oil temp gauge in my '78, except the Delphi connector that plugs onto the back of the gauge.

Thanks.
Guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. Didn't have my coffee this morning.
