Re: Temp sending Unit

Packard had issues with the temp gauge reading high on some 51-53 cars. The first fix was to install a resistor in the power feed to the gauge but there is no reference to the ohms needed in the resistor. That was later followed by making available a different temp sender for those cars with gauges that read high so they would not need the resistor. The fact that others have used the modern sender without issue makes me wonder if your car is one of those that was affected with the faulty reading and the original sender was one of the special ones.
