You could get a variable resistor, have it sticking out of the dash, nice brass knob on it, put a few marks on it for various temps, just like a real vintage car!

Still not gonna drive it until I get the new sensor.... Time to call Phil!

BTW- Phil, you were right, the single pole temp sensor was the culprit for my incorrect readings on my temp gauge.... Should have just ordered both of the temp sensors at the same time.
