A friend of mine here in England has installed a 2.0 Ford overhead cam Pinto engine in his Alpine. He is experiencing a problem getting the temperature sender in the Ford engine to mate up with the Jaegar gauge in the Alpine to give correct engine temperature readings. Presumably the two systems have different resistances that they are reading. The Ford temperature sender is totally different to the Alpine one so they can't just be swapped and he doesn't want to change or alter the gauge in the dashboard. We were wondering whether it is possible to fit an in-line resistor or similar to get the gauge reading correctly? We do not know what the standard resistance of either the Ford or Sunbeam sender units should be. Having checked a number of examples at room temperature all are very different!
If anyone can advise how best to deal with this problem we would be most grateful.
