Temperature Gauge

Share this page

Chuggy might be able to fit an electric sender; I bought one when I found out mine was DOA, and it would have fit using the collar off the old sending unit. I ended up finding a new dual gauge on eBay, but I see that Moss has them too, #361-761.
 
Most LBC dual gauges (excluding some I've seen for Jags) use a 5/8-18 thread for the temperature bulb. You should be able to convert to running two separate gauges if you want (mechanical oil pressure, electric temperature). The electric sender should fit right in where the mechanical bulb used to fit. Don't forget if you go this route that the electrical temperature gauge will need to be supplied with 10V off the voltage stabilizer, not full 12V.
 
Excellent, two gages while waiting on the real thing is very acceptable in my mind and prudent as well.
