1971 Temp Gauge
Temperature gauge not working. Is there an easy way to determine if it is the gauge or the sending unit without ripping the dash apart or loosing coolant unnecessarily?
Thanks all,
peter

Here you go. How to test your gauge.

And, when you're done, if your gauge reads wrong, then I suggest just ordering the adjustable temp resistor. It's wonderful. I put up with my inaccurate gauge for decades and it was so easy to fix. It's just wonderful for it to be accurate.

I saw this thread and was going to post the video... you beat me to my own post..
I'm glad someone uses the tech page to help others, that's for sure.
The adjustable resistor... I'll still give credit to Roger for pushing me to make this.

There is a ton of info aside from the video on your gauge at this link... http://repairs.willcoxcorvette.com/?...perature+gauge
I should have posted that last night too.
You can view the adjustable resistor installation at this link too. .
