Re: Aftermarket Temp Gauge Question

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! My reason for wanting to go the aftermarket gauge route is that the previous owner had cooling system problems with the car and was running it on pure water (which seemed to solve the problem). I can't run on water in North Carolina and have begun to rebuild the cooling system. Have had radiator and heater core cleaned and flow tested and will replace all other parts (hoses, thermostat etc.) Previous owner had just replaced water pump. I also don't feel obligated to keep the car original as it already has a major modification, namely a 4" chop to the roofline. I would have prefered an original car, but it's still a Packard. Will try to upload a picture of the car. Upload failed, will try to reduce file size and try again later.
