Just curious if all model years had dumb gauges, or just some?

Pretty sure they were all dumb gauges.alkaline747trio said:
My base model dosent even have a oil pressure or voltmeter gauge , just red warning lights.
Not just the temp gauge that reads dumb, my oil pressure gauge reads dumb too.

Most manufactures "dumbed" them decades ago.

Ok, so what is a good drop in temp guage for my '92? I don't want to do any drilling (maybe a mount hole for the guage), and I don't want to break the bank. I tried searching summit, but didn't know what to look for exactly.

I don't think it applies to the older gauges, but I may be wrong.
Mine is still kinda dumb. If it moves at all it goes right to 3/4, but I have never had the A/C cut out that most 1FZers have experienced. Recently some of them have had the A/C cut out with no move in the temp gauge at all. Hmmm...
i got mine from summit it is a VDO. make sure to get the sender with it. it is 2 1/16 and electric. i also used an adapter built by autometer. it allows you to cut a hose in two and install it in between.
