1960 c1 temp gauge

[Sander B.]

hello all

my temp gauge reads to much
when the engine is at approx 180 degrees the gauge says the max 220 degrees
i have read a post once, that its possible to adjust this with a variable resistor

but at what ohm range type resistor do i need ?
so i can buy one at the local shop (over here in the netherlands)

thank you Sander,

Try Corvette Central. They have a resistor available. There are alot of problems with the new senders.

Sander,
A 22ohm, 1/2 watt resistor should do the trick.

I bought a Wells TU-5 on ebay last week will first check how that works out
thank you anyway
