    from the old(1986) VDO info i have it indicates that cortina and escort should have the same readings

    fuel- empty = 73 ohms
    - half = 25 ohms
    - full = 10 ohms


    temp- cold = 73 ohms
    - hot = 10 ohms

    Shannon,I thank you very much.

    All I gotta do is find where I can buy a full set of gauges from.
    Oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, boost, fuel and volts, in a white face and silver / chriome bezel?

    the search continues...
    I think VDO may be the go.
    cheerio.
