[Tigers] Engine Temperature

[Thomas Witt]

A couple of questions and thoughts.

Was anyone else forbidden access to the Cullen Bennett calibration page?

Does anyone know just how hot the "heater" of the gauge gets?   It seems 
like the ambient temperature of a car which can range from below freezing to 
the 150+ range (closed car in the sun) yet the gauge differs little. How hot 
would the heater have to get for the variable ambient temperature to be a 
small percentage and thus likely not show?

Lastly if anyone is going the resistor route and can't find the right 
resistance/watt rating this may help. If you double the resistance and run 
two resistors in parallel you get half the resistance at double the wattage. 
Example if you took two, 10 ohm, one watt resistors and ran them in parallel 
you get 5 ohms at two watts.

This is a neat little calculator for people like myself who have difficulty 
with any math formula that contains letters (X the unknown).
