Gauges

[Deadstar]

Can anyone tell me if the gauges from a v8 will work on my 2.2 tc or are they calibrated just for the v8?

Thanks in advance

I suspect most of the guages will be calibrated differently - possibly with the exception of the fuel guage which should both be for a 15 gallon tank, & the ammeter.

The rev counter will not work with a different number of cylinders & the speedo will be different because the rolling radius of a V8 tyre is larger than a 2000. The temperature guage may be OK, but the oil pressure sender will be different.

Unless others know differently.....

but the oil pressure sender will be different.

The guage itself is different, 0-60 on the V8, 0-100 on the 2000/2200.

IIRC this has come up in a previous thread recently.

What about the temp ?

Offhand I can't think of a reason why the temp guage would be different on a 2000/2200 to a V8. If there was a variation then it would be easier to have a different sender rather than a different guage, but I'd guess at both the senders and guages to be the same.
