... and based on my experiences, a later 0-260F gauge with a Ts-6628 sender 
needs less or no resistor compared to an early 0-220F gauge. 
Bottom line: you'll still need to calibrate YOUR car to YOUR gauge no 
matter what combination of parts you use. Some combos just will not work 
accurately. Good luck all- J Deryke
