one of the two will be an earth. The temp housing willl be alloy on the blade, giving you the earth.

The promlem with using the factory sender is that the gauge may read wrong as the gauge will not be calibrated to work with the factory sender.

Chris can you keep us updated as to how this works out? I want to do this on my engine, but I am worried about the sclae. My gauges have a 100ohm resistor in series going to the gauges. I was thinking I could just plug the Koso straight in, but maybe not...
