I too would disagree with the assertion that SENDERS are inaccurate. The only inaccurate sender situation I've ever seen had everything to do with the wiring and the electrical connection. I'm sure the thermistor in the sender was fine. Thermistor resistance curves are well understood. Even the shoddiest run of thermistors from the least reputable manufacturer will EASILY get you 1degC accuracy. The variable parallax from your head wobbling on your neck will give you more than 1degC variation when viewing a 90 degree deflection gauge. Typical OEM gauges use far less accurate methods of displaying temperature. > Yes, oh yes, as anyone who's ever opened up an OEM gauge can attest... -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
