Thanks for the responses. There is someone who wants to sell me an electric (not mechanical) water temp gauge. Since this gauge has a remote sensor, I wouldn't have to worry about the capillary tube.
Will it work?
The other option would be to buy a restored '54 temp gauge with a longer-than-stock capillary tube. I've noticed these in the Jim Carter catalog. Anyone know where to get the cheaper? There's a lot to be done on this truck and I'm not rich!
Thanks,
Ed
