    need to sort out fuel and temp guages
    have done a lot of searching on here and other forums
    they work ok on a bench test , sweeping smoothly across dials
    temp unit draws 200 milliamps hot,320 cold
    fuel unit draws 200 empty,300 full
    can anyone confirm thats correct ?
    using a rheostat instead of senders i drive the
    temp unit,3 ohms cold ,8 half , 13 hot.
    fuel unit 15 ohms empty ,11 half ,5 full
    those seem way out to me,a ford fuel sender ( drake or carpenter )
    runs 10 ohms full to 70 empty
    and i cant find out what temp sender resistance is for 6 volt ford
    any ideas anyone ?
