Apparently I am not the only one who is confused about this.  The '78 and 
later cars have an electric sensor for the water temp.  Others have told me 
of water temp only gauges rather than dual gauges.  Add in everything done by 
all the DPOs in the world and you can understand why we have such a tough 
time of it.  There must be a reference book.

Oaky everybody, send in the year of your Spridget, and what kind of water 
temp gauge you have.  

Year and model car -
Water only - Capillary tube
Dual gauge - Capillary tube
Water only - Electrical sender
Dual gauge - Electrical sender

That'll start a thread!
