Sorry if this is a repeat -- I was booted off the list right after I sent
it. Please repost any replies to me.

The Temperature gauge on my '79 Spitfire suddenly quit working. (Kind of
like me at 5 o'clock!) The needle doesn't budge.
The gas gauge works OK. I am getting the pulsed voltage at the sender unit
lead (measured with my digital multimeter), about one pulse every second.
Resistance at the sender is varying with temp, from 33K ohms hot to 147K cold.
1. Are these sender readings OK? Could anybody check theirs as a
comparison?
2. If I short the sender lead to ground, will I hurt anything? [I don't
want to ruin my voltage stabilizer or gauge.]
TIA
