Scott,

Thanks for the quick feedback.  It sounds as if you're onto something useful.

I'm not quite sure I follow.  Did he use a SPST switch for each gauge, or
could it have been a single SPDT switch?  I assume when you say double up
you mean that the same panel gauge was used to alternately read a water
temperature and an oil temperature sender.  If I understand that part
right, did you get correct readings from either sender?
