     A  A so alignment depends where your full scale gauge reading is
     e.g. most
     A  A will peg just beyond the upper scale, but hopefully you are not
     ever

     A  A Do you know the full scale deflection resistance of the gauge?
     If you
     A  A really want to get serious and have access to a cheap
     potentiometer and
     A  A ohmmeter you can measure that and either find the correct range
     sender
     A  A or use an in line resistors/potentiometer.

   Longchamp: This winter I'll rework the engine, get new transmission,
   and
   rework rear end. Has started already. Some small parts need replacing
   while
   engine is out.
   I need a new temp sender to fit in the front of the Cleveland block,
   3/8"
   NPT I believe. Summit suggests this, has the VDO name in the
   description:
   [1][5]http://www.summitracing.com/dom/parts/vdo-323421/overview/
   Does that mean I'll get correct reading on my [6]1978 30-70-110 C VDO
   gauge?
   With the previous sender I think it showed too little, good cruising
   showed
   at or just below 70 C. Might there be a resistor in the wiring I should
   remove?
   Mvh/Regards
   Mikael
