My temperature gauge was acting funny ever since I bought the car... It would move from very low to very high in unpredictable ways, although never into the red zone. Last night I pulled the dash pod, removed the compensator board and jumpered pins one and three... now it acts the way a temperature gauge is supposed to. I'm very pleased. It took less than an hour. I can actually see what my engine is doing.

My car now has full instrumentation. Since I bought it, I've fixed the odometer, added a tach, oil pressure gauge, and voltmeter. All very useful, and make me like the car some more. My only beef is not having an analog clock: however, I may have a solution to that, I will post pics if it works out.

TEMP COMP BOARD DELETE: MOD RATING (scale of one to 5, 5 being best)

Expense 5
Usefulness 5
Ease of execution 5
Aesthetic effect N/A

cheers
