temp gauge and dummy light
I have a new autometer temp gauge. When I hook it up to the new sending unit and hook the temp warning light wire up to the sending unit, the temp guage reads 180 and the light is on as soon as I turn the truck on and it's cold.
Will the autometer temp guage work with the dummy light, or should I just leave the dummy light unhooked (that's the way I have been running it) Thanks for the help |

You need to change the sender on the block. Or even better leave the sender hooked up and install another sender on the other head for the guage

You can't run them off the same sending unit...I would leave it disconnected myself, but you can do like Hooter said, and run one on one head, and the other one on the other head.

well that kinda sucks. I'm working on making new guage clusters for all of my autometer guages and I put in the dummy light, and now i'm not going to use it. Oh well. Maybe I can think of some other use for it.

Yeah, the dummy light sending unit is either on or off. The gauges use varied resistance to make the needle move. Completely different sending units.
