Dan, if you had one of those switchable resistor boxes (say 1 to a few hundred ohms) you could probably come up with the correct sender value. At low to near zero resistance the gauge should full needle deflect but then keep trying different higher resistance (perhaps 30 to 200) until it just barely deflects (i.e. on the other side). If the resistance is too high it wont move at all but the correct size (on the high end) will make it defelect just a little. Many simple senders are in the 0 to 30 or 0 to to 200 or so ohms range, so use a switchable box until you find the resistance range to make the needle swing side to side without overdriving it either way. NOTE this is for the older 2 wire gauges, some newer 3 wire gauges in order to draw less current had sort of like a center tapped ground with two internal resistors that nulled out

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
