The car in question is a 1971 model; it would not have had this resistor 
from new, but one could possibly have been added under a TSB fix?   Currently 
it has a mechanical gauge, so I don't even know if the original wire from 
the gauge to the engine is still there.   I suppose simply stringing a new 
wire would be a simple process, and would also ensure no issues with a hidden 
resistor somewhere.

Thanks for the link!
