Temp Gauge adjusters

[71GTKammback]

Anybody installed this on their temp gauge? Looks like either one would work. Brand new sender A/C Delco located on the pass side of the block. and multiple temp gauges read 50 degrees hot. These are corvette pieces but same principal I am sure.

Never seen those adjustable sensors before, neat idea.

The Corvette Central one should work, as it is designed to go in series with the sender. The other Wilcox one is designed for a different, older type of gauge and hooks up in parallel at the back of the gauge. I don't think it will work in an H-body.
That being said, a fine adjustment potentiometer is nowhere near $30; any electronics supply store should have one for under $5.

So it's just a trim pot for 30 bucks? lol I thought it had a sensor also (thermistor)

Thats cool and all, but how do you find the actual engine temp when running so you can adjust this?

You could use a infrared hand held temp gauge or another gauge installed that you know is accurate to compare it to.
