Be very careful about this swap. There is an adapter that goes into the
head at the thermostat housing that is used on the mecahnical gauge. THe
sender for the electrical gauge just screws into the head, w/o the
adapter. I picked up a mechanical gauge that I can not use because I do
not have the adapter, and cannot find one. Not sure if the gauges from
Moss include the adapter or not (Kelvin, Ed?)
