Lar, Check are vendor's here on the registry there are two companies that if you send them the bad gauge they can repair it and also match it to the correct sending unit. Some time you buy a sender and it will not be calibrated to your gauge. I have had this happen to myself a couple of times so now I just go to one of them and send the gauge and my old sending unit. I hope this helps and god luck and welcome to the registry.

When I had mine restored, Palo Alto Speedometer calibrated the gauge with a new sending unit. You could probably have the gauge calibrated with your existing sender as George did.
