<VV> Head Temp Sensor

[J. R. Read]

While I neglected to say it, I was thinking along the lines of using a stock (type) gauge.

  I asked which gauge it was (Brand) - I haven't heard back. That would determine the proper sender. - Seth

    JR and Barry,
    `    I suspect that the thermistor type setup (like the stock Corvair 140/180) depends on the resistance of the thermistor probe changing with temperature, so the gauge is setup to respond to that.  But the spark-plug type depends on a thermoelectrical signal sent from the part under the plug back to the gauge.  So I question if you can switch senders from one type to another without switching gauges to the type that the specific sender requires.
        Maybe someone who really knows this stuff will jump in here to respond.
