    Hey guys, my water temp gauge died.
    It's one of those cheapies I got from kragen that came with the volt and oil pressure. The other 2 work ok. The wires to the water temp and the capillary tube all look ok. Any idea why it might have died?

    Probably the tube to the capillary broke. My old cheap set did that. I put in a new set of Sun Pro's, problem solved....
