Default Coolant & Oil Temp Sensors

Anyone happen to know what the resistance range is for the coolant and oil temp sensors?

I need to check my two gauges as it appears that they are reading low.

This is on my '81 if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance.

I think Willcox had a paper out about that. I seem to remember the sensor was supposed to vary from zero to 90 ohms to send the gauge from zero to full scale.
Not 100% sure on that.

I think the 0 - 90 ohms is for the fuel gauge.

I will check Wilcox and see...thanks for the lead.
