Temperature sensor question
First off I would like to thank everyone for helping me so far.
I've done some searching on google and various forums and cant seem to find an answer. The super old Intellitronix digital gauges in my car were reading some wacky numbers, like -70 for the water temp on a cold engine with ambient around 70F. I emailed them and they sent me replacement gauges but no senders. Now my temp gauge is reading 18F on a cold engine on a 60f day and the oil temp was reading 28. Theoretically they should read the same on an engine that has not been ran in a week.
My car appears to have the stock senders in place, my question is, are the Intellitronix senders the same as factory GM?
Pretty much, I don't know if my senders are bad, or the senders are fine but the gauges are not calibrated for them. Ideas?

I would think you have to ask Intellitronix as to what senders to use with their gauges.
