celcius really is not my cup of tea or i will say beer.
these are speedhuts correct?
can they be sent back for Farenheit?
and when i fired up my engine i didn't get any temp response, bad gauge? or bad sensor? ended up putting a remote temp gauge in place. now its time to finish my dash!!
i thought well i will just go to an autoparts and pic up a sensor, that was a no-go?
couldn't find one to match the wire connection.
>>the big ?<<>>> is can i use another Ford stock 2 wire sensor to replace it?
will it work with the gauge? does the ohms matter to the sensor/gauge?

We've only got them reading in celsius, but it should work fine with the supplied temp sender. You can probably test the sender with an ohm meter at room temp and then in hot water to see what kind of difference it reads. If you used a Ford sender, I don't know that it would produce the range needed, so I'm not sure how that would work. I'd also confirm that you've got a good power and ground to the gauge itself, just to rule that out. If you find that something seems defective, just give a call in to FFR, and we can take care of whatever's necessary.

Thanks,
