SW Oil Temperature Gauges - Mechanical or Electrical
Hi Guys:
My 1992 ERA #375 is equipped with Stewart Warner gauges. My particular question concerns the SW Oil Temperature Gauge.
Does anyone know if the typical "standard issue" for SW oil temp. gauges by ERA was of the mechanical or electrical type?
For some reason, the heavy wire from my oil temp sender makes me think it is mechanical. The number on the sender is sadly pointed AWAY from me towards the back of the pan. I have not ventured to see the part number on the gauge itself, as that is quite an uncomfortable position to get into to read it.
I would like to change out the gauge as my readings are always pessimistic and plan to do this at the next oil change. I figure I will start with all new components rather than try to debug these peice parts.
So, the SW catalog offers both electrical and mechanical Oil Temp gauges in the Deluxe model. Which should I go with?
