One of the design features by Ford was for the gauges to indicate correctly, regardless of the voltage applied (within generator/regulator range). The repo senders are a different electrical design that may not guarantee correct gauge behavior. I will continue the search for original senders.

The '41 gauge is for 50 psi max, not 80, so I need a 50 psi unit. Just need to find an original for that and water temp sender. Help!
