When shopping for Mechanical Temp Gages or Moto-Meters @ swap meets, take along a BIC lighter to test them with. When buying new repro temp gauges, test them in boiling water, to see if they're reading 212 degrees. Chuck went through 4 new NAPA gauges, to get one that was ACCURATE! (Made in CHINA!)
