Correct Temperature Sender/Sensor for 356 Oil Temperature Gauge

I have one downstairs in the garage. I'm going to need to get out of bed to check.  Give me 20 minutes and I'll report back.

Lazy Sunday motivation is low...

It's a big man who will unwrap his brand new gauges for a internet stranger...

All that said, my gauges are converted by Palo Alto Speedometer. May not be the info you're looking for. :/

Thank you, that is indeed exceedingly generous.  The updating I mentioned in my post is done by both North Hollywood and Palo Alto and is my understanding changes or replaces the gauge to peg when grounded rather than when not.  You've gone this far... would it be too much to ask to attach an ohm meter across the sender?  

I am just giving you a hard time.  

I don't actually have an ohm meter. I wonder if we can find anything out by the numbers on it?

Omic range : 278-22

Ground: standard.

Does that help?

Thanks.  I think what is happening is the 356 gauges are being converted to work with modern sensors as the early type sensors/sending units are apparently no longer available and the used ones are over 50 years old.

That won't work with his original 356 gauge, the Ohms range is backwards. A stock 356 sender should read around 20 ohms at room temperature and goes up as temp goes up. That sender is around 300 at room temp and goes down as temp goes up.
