Hi everyone,
I am working on a 1959 EDSEL Ranger with a 292 that the thermostat was stuck shut. I replaced it with a 180 standard thermostat. The gauge now reads quite high, but the temperature (with a gun at the thermostat cover) is any where from 180 to 190/195. Previously there was a 160 Degree in it. The gauge seemed to read OK then. So, do I have the wrong gauge? wrong sender? I checked the 6V behind the dash and it is right on 6V powering the gauge. I know the gauge is not original, probably the sender is not original also. Is there some calibration method?
thanks!
