Default Working I think

I took the whole gauge right out and found an open between
a wire post and the inside frame, I scratched it up and used flux and a skinny
soldering gun and was able to lay some solder on the connection.
I reassembled and tested and now it deflects to full hot when I
ground the sender wire. Now to see what will happen when I get
the engine operating temp!

Thanks Phil and Frank I will see tommorrow if I can warm the engine
right up and get a reading. All 4 original gauges will be working then!
Cheers
Terry

PS Phil do you know how the wiper vacuum hose is plumbed thru the dash??

Awesome Frank, that is so good to know, after I get the wipers up and running
I am tackling the speedo.
Do you happen to have a speedo cable or know where to get one.
I really need the outer part and I can probably put a new cable
inside!
Cheers
Terry
