Mike,
 
If you want to know all about temp gauges and senders, check  out:

Temp sensors  tested:
 
Niehoff  TS25571 1973 Torino  (Kragens) 
Niehoff  TS 25621 1973 Cougar (Kragens)  
BWD      WT386  1973 Torino (Pep Boys)  
Borg-Warner WT324  (link via Amazon .com)  
If you just want the results:
 
The WT324  and the TS25571 are available replacement sensors which provide 
a good match for  the requirements of the 260 degree Veglia gauge if the 10 
ohm resistor in-line  with the gauge is removed. With either the WT324 or 
the TS25571, the gauge will  read lower than the actual temperature until 
approximately 145 degrees F. and  then the gauge will read approximately the 
correct temperature to 260 degrees F.  Accurate gauge readings with the WT324 
or TS25571 require that the 10 ohm  in-line resistor be removed. If the 10 
ohm in line resistor is not removed, the  gauge will read colder than the 
actual temperature over the full range of  interest. 
 
 
Have fun  today,
