I am not sure what Dave means by "old" (just 4 bangers or all Healeys?), and I
only have experience with one, but when I had my gauge and sending unit out I
tested it out of curiosity using a laboratory thermometer (highly accurate)
and a pot of water I brought to boiling on the cooktop.
When the gauge read 160 degrees, the temp was actually 159.8, and when it
indicated 190 degrees it was actually 189.
I was impressed!
I am not disputing that in general they may be inaccurate, but mine is great -
anyone else got any hard data?
