Just acquired an 82 spider and starting to run down it various quirks.
Issue that i'm currently working on is non functioning temperature guage.
Wire from senders on block are tied together under hood and go nowhere, so clearly this is part of the problem
It appears that the guage moves on less resistance and not more resistance as indicated in the manual and in a couple of threads on this board. If i ground out the green wire post on guage needle moves hard right.
Now my key questions are:
1) where under the hood should the green/white wire become visible and split off to the two senders?
2) where does the resistor that forms part of this circuit live?
3) what are the specs for resistor mentioned above?
4) is there any easy way to tell the temperature sender from the kill sender? It seems that there poision on the engine may not always be same (or they may be swapped)
5) does anyone have a list of resistance of sender at different temps?
Thanks for helping a new owner
