I probably missed a portion of the prior thread, but are you certain the
gauges are original? Just wondering if they had been swapped out from a
later model or make, which didn't require 10 volts. Maybe it's worth
removing the temp gauge, say, and checking for a voltage rating or a part
number. The other question I have is how you're sure they're reading 1/3
low--are you checking engine temp with a thermometer again what the gauge
is reading, or what? Or filling the tank and seeing 2/3 full on the
gauge?
