Just came across this, and thought somebody could use it:

Same guy that does the M46 bellhousing to mount a M46 to a B20

I use 240 ('81->) temperature gauges (with 240 sensors)to build electric temperature gauges for my 122. Works great, looks original, and cheap.

Very easy to do! I posted something a couple of years ago when I first did it, but never did a formal write-up. I needed an electric gauge because I installed a B21 into my '65 122 and the mechanical sensor is too long for the B21 block. I wanted a gauge that looked stock, and not an aftermarket one that was mounted under the dash.

Basically, you need an old 122/544 temperature gauge-> you only need face and back plates. You need a 240 ('81-on) temperature gauge (I secured with silicone the old 122 T-gauge face to the 240 gauge), resistor, and volt stabilzer. You need to insulate the gauge power from the ground, which I used fiber computer boards from Radio Shack and filled the back with silcone to help secure everything.

Paul,
Thanks for posting this. I have your previous info on file, but, since I drive an old Mac, I have to go through a bunch of contortions to access it. Now I'll just file the URL and pull it up from the BB when I need it. Nice work!

I need to make another one for my P210 project, I'll try and do a writeup (with better pictures) if people are interested. It might be a couple of months down the road.
