Water temp sending unit question?

[1BAD68]

Installed a AutoMeter water temp gauge awhile back and used the temp sender that came with it.
I have since installed my original gauge and now it doesn't read the temperature.
Are they incompatible? Unfortunately I tossed my original.

No they are not the same resistance values.....you'd need to get a stock sender which should be readilly available at your local parts store

Cool, Thanks

Agree with above. Also check the original wiring by grounding out the wire by the sending unit. Your guage should peg out high. If not, you will have to check your wiring out.
