Tony - the 6 volt gauges do NOT use the voltage stabilizer , as I recall that came in around the mid 60's . I missed where anyone said what year truck this is all happening on .
I have NEVER needed to zero an electrical gauge other than fuel , this merely involves bending the float arm , since the temp. gauge works off resistance it should work correctly right out of the box if they sell you the right sender .
sorry I took so long to respond but I've been off line for over a week due to DSL being down .
