    Sure, here you go. I got these out of a full size GM van yesterday, the sensor is for the temp gauge. Cost was $10. I'll do the same as I did with the fuel gauge, remove the face and transplant the face of the old gauge onto it. I may do the volt gauge also to change from an amp gauge but then Id have to change the lettering, too. we'll see on that one. I'm leaving the stock oil PSI gauge.

    Thanks. Sounds great. I am running all my stock gauges, except an after market volt gauge. I have heard so many horror stories about amp gauges, but my buddy has been using the original amp gauge on his 49 Merc since 1955 when his Dad bought the car. Has had no problems. I would love to convert original amp gauge with volt interred's. I'm gonna try the temp conversion, biggest problem for me is getting the cluster out of the car. I spent about 4 hours on it last week, but with not any luck.
