Ok, I have been doing some trouble shooting my gauge cluster, actually I have two; a new one '76+ counterclockwise (ccw) and a model correct, clockwise, (cw) one. I also have a new jacket water thermocouple, the old one had the blade connection broke off. With the new thermocouple, on both gauge clusters, the temp gauge needles don't get much movement. At 212F neither needle goes past halfway on the temp gauge.
See pics - black lines depict where the needle was at approx 212F
Seems odd because the big CAT engines I work on alarm at 204F and shutdown at 212F.
Anyone know what temp should puts the needle into the red? Once I get the red line temp I think I will put in a resister to make the gauge max out correctly.
Thanks guys
