Help required with engine instrument please

I have just acquired this three way gauge, advertised as P-51.
I am trying to find out the connections to the 4 pin socket for the temperature indicator. We don`t have the sender, but that isn`t a problem once I am able to test the instrument.
Type AN5773-1A
Also has a RAF Stores Ref 6A/10290
It`s for the Griffon engined powerboat “Miss Canada IV”.

Cheers

Pete

That’s absolutely brilliant, thanks guys.
I do have some AN senders, I’ll see if any are correct.

Your help is much appreciated.

Cheers

Manual is AN 05-75AA-2( for auto lite manuf). Correct bulb is AN5225. Positive earth.

Pins as follows:
A to earth for 24V operation
B to bulb
C to bulb and negative power supply
D to earth for 12V operation.
To test substitute decade resistance for bulb.
72.24 ohms= -50Degrees C
90.38 ohms= 0 degrees C
128.85 ohms = 100 degrees C
151.91 ohms =150 degrees C.

Hope this helps. Mike

A chap over there called Rich Palmer (has the user name ’51fixer’) is usually pretty helpful regarding Mustang queries. He’s usually found updating this thread:
