electrical or mechanical temp gauge

Post by superg »

Hi guys i had a mechanical temp gauge from sprints but it was one of thos cheap ones and it has died, should have learnt i had one of these before and it done the same thing, after about a year it just doesnt move.

so i was looking at getting a new one, what would be a better choice, mechanical or electrical and also what are some good brands?
VDO? Speco?

thanks

I just bought a speco mech tem guage and a voltmeter.

I put the temp sender in a boiling saucepan and it read 98 degrees. Close enough I figure.

The voltmeter was +/- 1 volt everytime I disconnected it. It also jumped at the voltage decreased so I'll take it back and get something else.
